64 Megs?

Does it matter what the RAM of my CPU is when I use
programs like Fruityloops... what will it affect?

I have 64. My computer is a pretty fast one, but 64 is less
than average, innit?

You can never have too much. RAM is cheap now. I'd
recommend at least 128 megs. More is better for content
creation such as fruity loopz.

What will less RAM do? I'm going to upgrade, but what kind
of improvements can I expect? Better sound, less distortion,
etc etc? Anything like that?

More RAM = more samples loaded/playing at once, faster
encoding to MP3 and less 'slow down' on screens with many
windows open.

I have 512mb and have no problems :)

More samples playing without a big decrease in quality, you
mean?

It shouldn't be too bad quality when you convert it to
wav/mp3, just when you play it back in program.

Mind you, it'll take longer to convert.

ya when u convert it to mp3 it shouldn't make much of a dif
in quality cus all the same info is there.. ur computer will
just have to keep going to ur hard drive for it cus only so
much can be stored in RAM... this slows it down...

on my old computer, w/ only 48mb ram, when i had a track w/
lots of different tracks or many different samples at once
it would slow down and even the audio would get choppy

i doubt the RAM would make the big difference between it
ending up a good track or a shitty track. you could alsways
use it as an excuse though. no reason not to at least
double your RAM. ask your mom for 30 bucks canadian.

Its like a 2.0L engine or a 3.0L engine. The 3.0L doesn't
make you a better driver .. but sure is nice to drive ?!

i have a dual pentium 5oomhz, and 512mg ram. i still
struggle with some songs.
just depends how many samples / vstis you need to run at
once.
