You mean assuming I use large soundfonts, right? I'm pretty sure I couldn't fill up 256MB with samples. That would be my whole sample library... Well, that might change of course... Hmmm. Right now i would say that if large soundfonts are my only problem, I'm going for the smaller machine. Aren't there any software outthere that works like GigaSampler, that is a softsampler that can play directly from HD? BTW: I also asked this in my local LUG and one of the posters was shocked, and said that he had never sat behind a machine with more than 256 MB RAM. Is the "don't go with less than 512MB, or you'll be sooo sorry"-speach only for windows users or is there some truth in it for us linux users also? -- peace, love & harmony Atte
