You mean assuming I use large soundfonts, right? I'm pretty sure I
couldn't fill up 256MB with samples. That would be my whole sample
library... Well, that might change of course... Hmmm. Right now i would
say that if large soundfonts are my only problem, I'm going for the
smaller machine.
Aren't there any software outthere that works like GigaSampler, that is
a softsampler that can play directly from HD?
BTW: I also asked this in my local LUG and one of the posters was
shocked, and said that he had never sat behind a machine with more than
256 MB RAM. Is the "don't go with less than 512MB, or you'll be sooo
sorry"-speach only for windows users or is there some truth in it for us
linux users also?
