  • Quick Poll: Amount of RAM in your system

    Posted by William Mcqueen on June 22, 2010 at 1:57 pm

    I’m about to give instructions for building a new system. I wonder if I could get a quick poll of the amount of preferred memory you effectively use in your system. Or a preferred motherboard & processor.

    Thanks very much,
    Bill in Toronto

    Mac OSX 10.6.4
    2×2.26 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon
    8 gigs ram
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285
    CS5
    All drive eSATA

    currently editing HD 4K R3D footage, seems to handle it okay at 1/4 resolution.

    For a win computer where you will do some multitasking 6-8gigs minimum, usually DDR3 is 3 sticks in a set, alot of Mobos have six ram slots so using 2gig sticks you could get 12gigs onboard or 24gigs if you afford the larger sticks. If you are going to use a suite like production premium CS5 12gigs if you can afford it, likewise with a processor, i7 930 or up.

    I have 24GB in my quad-core computer. It’s great for running After Effects CS5 and Premiere Pro CS5 together.
