    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

First choice is to look for RAM at a different store. Even if you have to drive several hours to get it.

Second is to look for a hack, via Google, that will allow you to tell FCP that it is OK to run in less memory. It is possible this information is in a secret file within the FCP application. In my FCP 5.1 version, that informaiton maybe in the Info.plist file and in an attribute named AELMinimumRAMSize which is set to 512. One would use the Property List Editor to edit that file, which may require the installation of the development tools which comes on your install DVD. I don't have FCP 6 or access to it, so my information may not be of value to you, so CONSIDER THIS HIGH RISK.

Third, I've hoped you learned this critical leason. You NEVER upgrade ANYTHING when you are on a schedule.

Oh, the obvious answer was probably to say, reinstall FCP 5. But I'd also research that via the net to see if anyone has had issues downgrading. See Apples FCP forums.
