High Memory usage of Premiere Pro 2.0
Im quite bothered by the amount of RAM being used by premiere Pro 2.0. I would like to verify if this is really the case. This is my system setup: RAm-2Gig, P4 3.0Ghz, Win XPpro. As I work on Premier pro, I noticed in the Task Manager (under Processes))that it consumed almost 500MB of memory (plus the fact that other background applications are also running which adds to amount of RAM being used). If I would open After Effects 7.0 (so they are simultaneously open), almost 1.5G of memory is being used. This would make my PF usage to 1.5G.
My question is: if you have the same setup as the above, would you have ALMOST the same memory usage and PF usage in your task manager supposing Premiere and after effects are the only open applications (of course, there are background applications running like anti-virus etc)?

I have some jobs where Premiere alone uses almost 2GB of RAM – generally the larger the job (more clips and sequences) the more RAM it seems to use, jobs with dynamic links to AE project also open AE and increase the RAM usage. best bet, throw as much RAM at it as you can, it’s well worthwhile

I want PRemiere Pro to use all the RAM I have. Is there a reason why you don’t want Premiere to utilize all available memory?

If you are using simo apps like Ppro, AFX, PS, etc its best to have as much memory as you can afford, a 3gig HT processor/2gig mem is ok with Ppro 1.5 but if you are running Ppro 2 say with the production studio and/or HDV a dual core processor/4gig mem is a good upgrade.

Why are you running anti-virius while editing? you should shut-down all non-essential TSRs, etc to free up processor cycles.
