This may be my "slow" area when it comes to computers, but I need some help.
I have 8 gigs of RAM for my G5 Powermac, and I try to run many patches in Logic such as many instruments using EW/QL and the like, but it keeps telling me that memory is getting low and may cause problems such as artifacts, etc. But when I use the activity monitor, Logic is only using 1.92 gigs of RAM and there are still 5.11 gigs free RAM on the whole system! What gives? How can I make sure that Logic has the full power of my loads of RAM? Thanks in advance! Uvee |

Hey, everyone!
Will Leopard work on the most recent Pre-Intel G5 Mac Desktops, or will it only be for Intel Macs? Thanks!

You're experiencing what I've been going through for almost a solid year now. gdoubleyou is correct. Currently, Logic doesn't recognize all the power you have in your G5 PowerMac, and so you are unfortunately going to have to endure this lapse until Apple updates Logic. Grrrrr. Just wanted you to know I feel your pain, and here's hoping Apple gets on the stick soon. Yours truly, HaHaWorld |

It's to do with 32bit appz, apparently! They can only access a maximum of 2GB of RAM, although OSX does do some clever jiggery that might improve that.
Leopard is 'true' 64bit and as long as the app is 64bit it will access more RAM than we can dream of! I know this as I had a similar problem, reported it to NI, and a tech guy told me of the 2GB limit, which includes active vsti's i.e. stylus or Kontakt. He recommended using Kontakt as a multi-instrument as it would be far more efficient. |
