The amount of Ram to install
I’m specing up a G5 system to do heavy video intensive work. If I were to install 8 gigs of ram , would FCP make use of all of it or does it have a ceiling?
Thanks

No, but it doesn’t seem to matter much. FCP currently only sees 2 gigs but that’s not to say your other apps wouldn’t benefit and FCP5.5 or 6 might change all that.

Well I have to correct bogie (which isn’t very often) FCP 5 will address up to 4 gigs, but rarely uses that much… Motion 2 however will address all you can give it… It’s nice to run multiple apps, and do multi tasking… so the more the merrier I’d think. If you restrict yourself to 1 gig chips though, you could start with a couple or 4 gigs and see if you feel adding more would help your workflow… you can always add 2 more gigs at a time.

Ah, yes, 4 gigs. I think I was supposed to know that.
Thanks, Jerry. My mistake.bogiesan
