  • How much RAM for XP Pro x64?

    Posted by Mark Dalzell on April 9, 2008 at 3:27 pm

    I’m upgrading my current PC to XP Pro x64 Edition. My question is, will 16Gb of RAM be sufficient for AE CS3? I plan on using Necleo Pro as well to take full advantage of my machine.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I will include my current PC config as well.
    Thanks very much.

    Regards.

    Uh … yeah. I’d say 4GB is the practical minimum (for me, anyway). 8 GB is comfy.
