I wonder if anyone can give me some suggestions on specifications for a new PC?
I'm currently using XP with Sib 6 on a 3.2ghz Carillon PC with 3GB of RAM from about 2005. I find I can only load about 1200 MB of Vienna samples.
What operating system gives the best option for using more RAM. Does this have to be Windows 7 64-bit? I've seen people on the forum saying they have 24 (48?) GB of RAM. How is this made possible?
What would be a suitable type of processor / core?
Also, how important is the PC speed? If I had much more RAM does dropping to 2.66 matter?
All suggestions gratefully received. I need to get this right before I spend any money.
