To tell the truth,
I work with 2.4 machine holds 256 ram and im doing fine...
Maybe its becase Nuendo is more stable than Cubase,
which I have used before with a lot of suffers on my same machine...
BTW I also have the 'ESI-PRO WaveTerminal 192L' and its terrorised me with it's horrofying frequent crashes at the time I used Cubase,
dissapeared with my movement to the world of Nuendo!
