Thanks for sharing AI-David...are you an Artificial Intelligence enthusiast, or are those just initials ? BTW - how do you know it's mostly the ram vs. the faster CPU due to newer CPU architecture and faster clock speeds ? Likely both contribute - but do they do so equally or does one contribute more than the other ? I know a lot about simple basics things and generalizations with PC's - but when it comes to a complicated use scenario - like DAWs with virtual instruments and BB running, I really am clueless as to the extent each component plays in raising the overall performance bar....Even the articles I've read rarely explain things at that level. You kind of have to read lots of articles and infer....perhaps one of our low level BB coding engineers can explain better ?

Bottom line - faster, newer generation (more efficient) CPUs and multiple cores will result in better performance - I get that. I just find it interesting to know which components are limiting performance in a fully-loaded DAW.
