    Hello,

    So sometime in December, I will purchase a VI; still not entirely sure if will be chamber strings or orch strings; probably chamber.

    This is a hardware and OS preperation question:

    I am running OS 10.3.9 on a dual 1.8 PPC G5. All is smooth in Logic and Ableton. I use a seperate drive for audio; it's 200 Gigs

    -Is it recommended to have another drive JUST for VSL? If so, will another Lacie 7200 RPM do the trick?

    I have 1.2 Gigs of Ram. Should I upgrade to 2 or more?

    Finally, are things stable on 10.3.9? The host will be both/ either Logic Express 7 or Ableton 5 and 6. I use all of those, but can stay in Logic if necessary.

    Hi Steve,

    I'm not the OSX expert here, but the VI does not run under OSX 10.3.9
    You would need 10.4 or higher.

    You can find the system requirements on each product page.
    Here you have the direct link of the Chamber Strings system requirements:

    I'm surprised and embarassed that I missed that....


    And a bit dissappointed.

    I'm sort of looking at re-configuring everything.. finally after I find a stable configuration for ALL of my hosts, apps, plugs, etc... AND having to buy a new O/S.

    Hmmm...
