[QUOTE="David Green, post: 1323017, member: 219006"] Hi Codda Will definitely be getting an extra 8gb RAM from Crucial - again, Apple's minimum specs are 4gb RAM for FCPX but twice that amount is 'recommended'. A further exploration of real time users such as yourself tells a different tale with the general consensus being more like 8gb minimum and 12gb recommended. Lion, FCPX, Compressor running in union would 'use' a lot more RAM than the minimum that Apple quotes - surely you can't disable Lion whilst working with FCPX? I was aghast to read of Mac Pro users with 32gb RAM struggling and stuttering like a drunken snail on FCPX. The problem was across the board and all down to inferior graphics cards from two years ago. I'm surprised that your getting by with a 2009 C2D and what must be a 256mb GPU - perhaps I'm being forced upmarket unnecessarily by users of FCPX that want everything done in a snap? [/QUOTE]
