<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>yes , you can certainly put 4 gbs into the Dell ,
maybe even more; check with the model specs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>if it's a 64 bit-ready system (processor) ,
installing more ram will have more effect on OSs such as Windows 7.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>hope this helps</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>yep I have.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>That would likely give me quite a bit more
processor headroom alright.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Though I think the dell can only handle 3GHZ or
something.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But ram being so cheap these days, I really
should upgrade it a little.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm not sure I can even upgrade the acer netbook,
or if putting another gig or two in would even allow more audio
editing.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I think this also has to do with RAM; have you
considered increasing your ram to , say , 4GB?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>best</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>the only issue you might run into on a
laptop, is processor capability.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Mobile processors, even with similar
documented specs as a desktop, just don't typically have the same balls as
a desktop CPU.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>You begin to notice when you start stacking
or using multiple effects in real time for multiple tracks.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've been mixing 4 track projects lately, and
even on the dell desktop running a 2.8GHZ processer and 1GHZ of ram under
xp, after 3 VST effects on each track, and one on the master, things begin
to get a bit bogged down.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>On the acer netbook, running xp, a 1.6GHZ
processor and 1GHZ of ram, I can max out at two per track before it slows,
and at 3 vst fx on each track, it'll often just freeze...i've lost a
couple projects that way.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I don't think it's as much about the sound
card as it is about the processor and particular design of the other
components in the laptop.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I think most serious users of audio for in
and out and mixing and editing will use an external I/O box at the minimum
when using a lap top. This frees up some of the processor to work
with reaper.</FONT></DIV>
