RAM

I really have to order the RAM upgrades for my Powerbook.  The current piece I'm working on 'Exploding Symmetry' is becoming extremely hard to work on because all of the automation and programming keeps pushing the DSP (CPU limit) to roughly 75%.  I set the threshold on Reason to 85% so that the tracks continue to run, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to sequence because it is constantly lagging.  

My Powerbook currently is only slotted with a single 512mb RAM slot, so I'm going to order at least a single 1gb stick.  I don't know how annoying it is to remove the memory stick that's already built in (the 512mb), but if it proves to be rather easy I'm definitely upgrading to 2x1gb.  The Powerbooks can only use 1gb sticks because they require DDR-1, whereas the new Intel Dual Macbooks can use up to 2x2gb.  I see myself eventually switching to a 2.67ghz Macbook Pro, but I'm thinking that going from 512mb -> 1.512gb or 2gb RAM should make a considerable enough difference that I can actually, you know, process my tracks without lag and explosions.  ;)

Hi.  I've recently decided that maintaining a blog about my music projects is a good idea.  As such, this is a good place to find information about what I'm working on.  I deleted my personal facebook and replaced it with the name 'Linear Rebirth', and archived/deleted all blog entries about my personal life.  

I plan on posting entries about my compositions and essays on technology and music.  Once I get a grasp of audio options I may post audio.  

Cheers.
