HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! Just picked up a new HP Laptop with Windows 7 64 bit, and I've been running it with Reaper (in which i'm new too) and I'm running alot of plugins on my project. My CPU is peaking (which is a 2.2 ghz AMD) but I have 8 gigs of ram (in which only 2.5 or so are being used at this point). I'm not a computer genious, but I was curious if there is a way I might be able to have that excess of ram help carry the load of the CPU. And or if there is a way I might be able to optomize the system for recording. When i'm recording I always turn all of the visual effects off, and run it in the best performance settings. But it's just barely not enough. I notice when I bypass probably about 5 plugins, I can listen back without it sounding sluggish, and skippy.
All the best, and thanks so much for the incite.
