HOW MUCH RAM for PB G4

[palmerman]

First let me say, " I LOVE MY HVX". That feels better. My next question is how much RAM do I need in my PB G4 1.25 to be able to open the files in FCP. I am currently getting an error with the files. It has 512 that it came with... how much more do I need .

Thanks. DP.

Apple suggests 1GB of RAM (2GB recommended).

Did you get (1) 512MB or (2) 256MB chips? If it was the former, I would go and buy a (1) 1GB stick and roll with 1.5GBs. If it was the latter (probably), I'd scrap both 256s, and buy (2) 1GB sticks.

Its the former. I have one empty slot. I will add a 1GB card. Many thanks. David.

MAX IT OUT-

I believe that you can go upto 2 GB in that PB- I would do that. You are getting the most bang for your buck. Not only will the P2 card reads be better/quicker, but your apps will run that much better as well.

If you have the coin, max it out.

You'll need 2 full Gigs of RAM.

Just max out, if that is too slow you then at least know you need to upgrade.
