  • MAC 8GB Ram is ok

    Hi,

    I'm thinking to renew my PC for a MAC 8GB Ram, Processor 3.6 i5. I'm using basically Vienna Ensemble (not Pro) with Finally and occasionally Cubase. I have some of the SE Edition Libraries (SE vol.1, 1plus, 2 and 4) and Synchron SE vol.1. I also work with some Garritan instruments, but mostly with Vienna.

    Do you think 8GB Ram is ok, or it will be very slow and take ages just to load the libraries?

    I've been checking out there and a Mac with 16/32 GB is much more expensive.

    Now I'm working with old Intel 4GB, which I converted to 8GB, and its a mess...I think Processor and Sound Card are not good either. I never had a Mac before and many people firmly recommended me to switch to Mac for Midi/Audio editing.

    Regards!


  • Hi Carrillet, 

    8 GB should be fine with your setup, but you will be more future-proof with 16 GB, in my opinion. 

    Best,
