  Macbook Pro and FCP – 3 gigs of RAM

  Posted by David Dubois on May 22, 2007 at 8:52 pm

  Hi all.

  I’ve been reading various threads about FCP not liking uneven amounts of RAM – none of which seem to give a definative answer about this situation in the MBP.
  I’m looking at purchasing a new MBP in the next month and, as I use After Effects alot, 3 Gigs of RAM (1x1gig & 1x2gig sticks) would be really useful.

  I will also be purchsing FCS2 upgrade at the same time and was wondering if anyone has any experiences or advice they could lay on the table.

  Will FCP 6 be happy with 3 gigs?
  Will it run as faster if it had 2 gigs in it?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  It will be happy with the 3 gigs… the posts below about ram only refer to Mac Pros, not the laptops.
