  Avid on a Sony Vaio rx730?

  Posted by Damage on April 11, 2005 at 2:49 pm

  Simple question.
  Does anyone have any experience running Xpress Pro on the Sony Vaio rx730? I search the Avid site, but couldn’t find any answers. Also this system supposedly can only handle 1 gig of ram. Will this be enough?

  thanks in advance
