I can't even fathom that much RAM. I think I have 8 gigs right now, plus 2 gigs on my video card. I've never done any serious video editing though.
With Logic running virtual drummer, a few synths, 3 effects per track and 24 tracks take up about 40% of your ram at 16 gigs. The best part about this computer is the 8 core because logic utilizes the virtual cores. That's what really slows shit down. Now you have 64 virtual freeways in processing
So I'm curious, and maybe you can't answer this, but is one computer with that much power better than having four computers working together? This is way above my knowledge with computers, but I'm just curious if you can have four computers sinked?
I don't think that really works, although protools has the HD systems; which basically adds processing to each PCI slot, basically like running up to I think 6 computers at once. Then you don't even need much processing from your main CPU.
10 grand? Seriously? What a waste. I mean, I'm glad your stoked and stuff, but you can have a comparable PC for half that.
Hey I don't care what people use for computing, but the prices Apple charge are ridiculous. Edit: and for what Mags is using this system for, save 5g's and smile.
