    Hi,

    I ordered the Normal + Extended Apass, and installed it but on my disk the size is about 12GB while in the shop it says the 2 combined are 18GB

    I got 1 install CD for the VI and one DVD ... whats wrong ?

    Regards,
    Geert.

    The shop lists the uncompressed 24 Bit datasize.
    On your hardrive the wav datas are stored in a compressed format, therefor it needs less space on the hardrive (and less RAM when loaded)

    ... but it is mentioned in the system requirements with the full amount for a good reason: never fill your harddisk up to the limit ... performance decreases significantly at least on the most upper 10%, probably 20% ...
    so you should really try to keep the difference between installed amount and *uncompressed amount* free on your harddisk for each collection. harddisks aren't that expensive ourdays ...
