Well, in actual game memory, the most I've ever done is 300megs of
sample data. That was for a test project where we didn't really pay
attention to memory footprint, and went straight for quality and
interactivity. The 1.2gig project is streaming wav based, and because
DMP insists on loading all of those wav's into memory when your working
on them, it's a real heffer of a project. If it actually streamed them,
like they do in the game, it'd be a lot less..

Over a gig? Gulp. You can't be serious.
Was this for PC or XBox? I wouldn't expect the entire game to take up
that much space.
By memory, I was talking about RAM. 1.2 gig of RAM would be one hell of
a minimum requirement.
