    I'm waiting to upgrade to a Mac Pro until EVERYTHING I use is either Universal Binary or Intel Native. (Soon, I hope!) Meanwhile, I'm perking along reasonably well with my Dual 1.42 G4 with the 2gb RAM maximum.

    I'm thinking of picking up AP strings as a first toe in the water before upgrading my Pro Edition to the VI Symphonic Cube later this year. (I know...if I buy the Cube first I'll save on the extended AP library. But we spend what we can when we can, right? Plus AP will come in handy for a project coming up soon.)

    So my question is...anyone running AP strings on a similar G4 rig? Any problems? How many instances, etc.?

    Thanks!

    fred, of course this depends what else is running on this computer but i'd say you should reach 6, if not 8 instances, although you might hit the memory limit earlier than the CPU limit and so had probably to be careful in selecting your patches.
