Running Out Of Cpu Power, help please! Options

[anakinsrightarm]

hellooo i have a macbook pro with 1ghz ram. i run pro tools LE 7.3 and have had the issue of running out of cpu power. i get the error message "you are running out of CPU power. Remove some RTAS plug ins or increase the cpu usage limit in the playback engine dialog. (-9128)"

i am not running that many tracks (3-4) and only about 2 plug ins and i am still getting the problem.
i also increased the cpu usage limit in the playback engine dialog with no luck.

i thought it had to do with not having an external hard drive, so i picked up a glyph 050 250 gb hd. on other forums they said it didnt have to do with the hard drive, and to come here.

thanks

Wow. I had no idea MacBook RAM was that cheap. It was 300 bucks to install RAM the last time I did it. You are correct, of course. There is no such thing as too much RAM.

I know its been pretty cheap for a while now.... gone are the days of 'resin shortages' of 5 years ago... some of you will know what I mean.
I had thought 2gb might set our friend back just under $100 so I had a look. $39 WOAH! I paid an extra $700 or so (it may have been more) to put 1.5gb in my G4 as an option at the apple dealer back in 2001
