    Hello friends,

    I have few questions about logic pro:

    1) Is it a 64 bit application
    2) Can I run Vienna Ins. on it using more then 4 GB RAM?
    3) If yes - how? By running several VIs or on one VI?

    Thank you in advance for your answer

    This is not intended to be obnoxious self-promotion, but if you go to www.VirtualInstrumentsMag.com - download the free sample issue, and read "7GB on One Mac," there's a good way to access more RAM on a G5 - and while I haven't tried, I assume a Mac Pro as well.

    Is there a total limitation of 4 GB RAM or is it a limitation for each programm, meaning that, if I have 8 GB RAM in my mac, I can use 4 GB for Logic and 4 GB for VI?

    Did anyone hear about Rax? I remember something about this program, beeing able to adress aditional RAM.

    Felix,
    Nick was referring to the DEC/JAN VI Mag for accesing 7 gigs of RAM on a MAC ... click on the link in his post. The short answer is that you can access RAM using VI as a stand alone outside of Logic.

    Hello,

    finaly I decided not to buy Mac.

    My new choice is Dell Precission 490, Intel Xeon 5160 (3 GHz, 4 MB) with 4 GB Ram. When the time comes I can increase RAM and buy another processor - my opinion is thet one xeon is ok.
    Till this time I was working on two Pentium 4 2,8 GHz and with some victims it was working quite good. I expect that mostly I will work on one xeon pc now but some time I will use my old one if I will need large scores.
    I have good expirience with dell - the service is really quick. My friend had Mac and he was waiting for repair more then month!
