I am running protools digi 001 on my G4, dual 500s, 640 ram, 160 hd. now i seem to be maxing out the capacity to handle my tracks after only about 8 tracks with some plugins, edits, etc.
my question is this... will i get signicant performance improvement by upgrading the memory, or will i only get there by jumping up to a faster processor? thanks for your input. |

You definitely need more RAM, but I don't know that I would spend money to upgrade the model you've got. A 1GB upgrade would probably run you about $300. It would be better, IHMO, to put the money towards a newer model of computer (which will almost certainly come with at least 1GB out of the box, and lots of retailers have specials where they will give you extra RAM these days). From what I've seen, the G5s use SODIMM memory which isn't compatible with the G4s, and the Intel Macs will probably use something different from that.
