I made an intensive use of the sts and I'm very often short in memory. I already have an asus CUSL2C with 512 mo but the limit of the ram is reached. Is there a new motherboard known as to be pulsar friend accepting 1 go.
Windows 98 is perhaps a problem, I'm not a specialist.
Thanks for your advices

ASUS A7M266 board supports up to 2gig of RAM. I would only suggest using 1gig on the board though, as 1gig DDR sticks are expensive, if they even exist! Performance is similiar to the CUSL2, although AMD76x doesn't perform quite as well as the i815.
ASUS P4T-E is our P4 board of choice, Socket 478, RDRAM, i850 chipset. I only find 512meg RDRAM sticks in the ECC variety, and they are running about $499 for a stick. 256meg RDRAM sticks are about $140, so not a lot of value-for-money happening. This board should perform almost identically to the i815.
There are nForce and i845+DDR solutions coming out soon (in the order listed), so these may offer both solid North Bridge chipsets, along with more cost effective memory options for >512megs.
It should be clear that right now, AMD is sort of the price king, if you need lots of RAM.
Hope that helps.

I don't see how you can use 512 megs of ram are you sure you aren't talking about DSP load? If you are using the creamware sampler or sample player maybe you are loading a lot of samples you aren't using in the sample banks? I'm currently using 12 banks of the prosonus orchestral collection and I have't run out yet and I have 512 megs of ram.

Well, I must be a little stupid or having a bad english. Perhaps you want to joke...
So I repeat with an example like you were a baby :
First when I load my sts4000 (I have no dsp load problem cause I only use a sts, a mixer and effects and I have 12 dsp), there is 400 mo left. When I make an orchestral score I use not only strings, because there are others instruments in an orchestra :
- my favorite USB classical piano : 128 Mo (and I don't have all the nuances)
- My ilio "virtusoso" ensemble about 200 mo with several kinds of nuances.
After I have to choose between winds, percusions and I don't talk about choirs from symphony of voices and so on and so on.
So I have to record some of my parts which is not the solution I want to use when I work cause it's boring first and second I you want to make some new edits, you're fucked.
That's all. Thanks
