I did the same thing Efren on my XP Desktop. I had two slots on my system's mother board with 1 gig of RAM each: my tech person told me, that each slot was capable of handling up to 2 gigs of RAM each. Even if Windows only sees 3 of the 4 gigs added, I'd say it's worth making the upgrade and wouldn't hurt a thing. Robert ----- Original Message ----- From: "Efren Chavez" <efrenchavez91@xxxxxxxxx>

Hey you can always add more ram if it is supported in its original mother board. My lap top was originally 4 gb. It had two slots with two gigs of ram each, but I had read in its specs that it could take up to 4 gigs per slot, and that is what I did.

Some apps can only use 2gb and can't go past it, others can theoretically go up to 4, though you'll never really see "4gb" of available ram on a 32bit system, it's just the way the x86 platform works and the number of reserved addresses on x86 computer systems.

Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 12:30 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: strange behavior Since you only got 2gb, if you've got room on that board, you can add another 1 to 1.5 gig and windows xp should still see them; it goes upto 3.5gb, depending on your system hardware configuration. If you want mor than 4 gb (I recommend 6 at the minimum), you'll need windows7 x64; your motherboard and CPU should support 64bit OS, if you'vegot anything above pentium-d CPU. If your board is older however, it couldprobably only support 4gb, even if it's running a 64bit OS; 4gb for a 64bit OS is too little for daw use IMO. Regarding your problem, it could just be a cakewalk problem or something with 1 of their files on your system, since those 3 synths are all from cakewalk, no other synth does this? And I doubt pentagon or psyn II take up that much memory.

Whenever I bounce an audio track to clips or whenever I frees a soft synth, some of my other soft synths that are not frozen will begin to play with a very choppy glitching sound. I haveto close the project in order to get them to play normally again. The onlything that prevents this from happening is to frees them. can anyone tell me why this is happening? It happens with dimension pro and with Psym 2 and with pentagon.I'm thinking that this may be a memory issue. I'm running sonar on windowsXP pro 32 bit and my CPU is a duel core Intel with two gigs of ram. A friend told me that in order to take advantage of the four gigs available I need to either get windows 7 or upgrade to a 64 bit motherboard. Is this a memory issue? If not how do I resolve this issue? May the Peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!
