[Rwp] considering a new pc for Reaper and other things, please help!

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Beth,

I'm running Reaper off a system that is such a dinosaur, that it only has 
512MB of ram.  Not even! a gig, yet it works fairly well.  OK, if I start 
adding lots of instruments to my plugin chain, that's one thing, or lots of 
virtual instruments, then it'll basically crash and puke, but for the most 
part, as long as I keep the project very basic, it works fine.  So, though 
I'm not doubting you, I'd be curious where you heard that you need 4GB 
minimal.  Even my production machine doesn't have that much.  It's only got 
a gig and a half.
