Multiprocessing
I have been running some RAM previews on my new AECS3 with new AMD Dual Core processor. I have taken advantage of the multiprocessing tab in preferences. However, when I preview, I get a message in the info palette that says “Multiprocessing turned off. Not enough RAM.” I have two sticks of 512 and another 2 sticks of 256 for a total of 1.4 GB. I would think that would be plenty. Do I really need more RAM?

Yes. You should have at least 2GB, and 4GB would be useful.

I would recommend at least 4Gb. Given the system overhead, and fundamental memory requirements of the application itself, you would ideally like to have 2GB free for each processor. Adobe says at least 512Mb Ram for each processor, but that minimum could result in a lot of disk swapping and that would compromise the speed you’re looking for in multi-processing.
