I've recently gotten into softysynths. To date, I've been getting so much
out of my hardware units that I haven't bothered with the soft stuff. But
man, I'm hooked. So I'm getting this new soundcard, and I think I'm gonna
need to upgrade my RAM. I've been getting by on 128 megs, I think I'd like
to get either another 258 or 512, BUT, I seem to recall that Paris may not
"like" this. Is it ok to stick upwards of 128 in a Paris (and softsynth)
machine?
Thanks!
MR

Paris loves memory but I think you have to adjust vcache if you got
above 512, you can go to 2gb if i'm reading the newsgroups right.

It's not really a Paris thing.... if you're still on 98/ME, 256 is fine for
Paris standalone, but you can go up to 512 w/o troubles also. . If you've
moved to XP, the only limit is your motherboard. I'm using 512 still on that
rig and 1 GB on another one.. no problems with either.
