    Hi
    Buying a new computer and are woundering if we will be stuck with 2-3gigs max of ram like with xp. If so we are thinking of a mac. Pitty because adobe suite looks great.

    thanks
    Miles

    On Mac, AE will recognize up to 3.5GB per process.
    On Win XP/Vista AE will recognize up 3.7 GB total
    On Win64 AE will recognize up to 4GB per process.

    That’s per process. On all platforms, AE CS3 can run multiple render processes in the background – each process utilizing its own 3.5 -4 Gb RAM. A Quad-core CPU will run 4 processes simultaneously, using 14 GB RAM or thereabouts. Additional RAM will also allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously.

    There is no virtually no difference in content or features between the new CS3 Production Premium bundle for Mac and PC platforms.

    Shake is governed by the same RAM limits as other applications. So 3.5 GB is as far as it goes. Because Shake has had development discontinued, it will never be recoded in 64bit, so will probably never utilise more RAM either.
