Hmmm, just 256M used seems on the low side. There must be a way to see how much memory is locked down, that would be a more useful measure of how close you are to the edge (any gurus out there know of an incantation to do that?). > > The "No Memory Lock" option > > does just that, the audio application pages are not locked into real > > memory (your real RAM), meaning they can be swapped out to disk when the > > system runs out of memory.

No, I don't think that would be the case. I suspect the reason is you don't have enough memory to lock down all the libraries your particular plugin needs. -- Fernando
