Hey guys, Pro Tools is bogging down on my so going to do some upgrading. Just ordered a Profire 2626 as my interface but don't know how much that will actually help system performance (I'm currently just using a Fast Track Pro).
As far as system I'm running WinXP 32 Bit, Core 2 Duo 3 Ghz, and 4 Megs of RAM. Pro Tools M-Powered 7.4.
I'm going to upgrade to a 64 Bit OS so I can increase my RAM, I can get a free copy of Win 7 through my company access so that's not costing me anything BUT, has ANYONE gotten Pro Tools M-Powered working on Windows 7 64Bit ??? If it won't work I'm stuck with the 4 Gigs of RAM max and that answers my question below. I know it works on Vista 64 but it doesn't look like you can get that anywhere anymore.
As far as hardware upgrade I'm on a budget so I can only do one or the other right now, and wait a month to do the other. So my question is:
Will I get more performance increases putting in 8 Gigs of RAM (that's of course if it will work with Windows 7)
or
Going to a Quad Core 3.0 Ghz Processor?
