I recently purchased an iMac quad core i7 with 8G of RAM (with two external Firewire drives--one for audio files, one for samples). I've been simply stunned by the change from my Core Duo MacBook. Songs that used to bring the MacBook to its knees barely register on the new iMac. Unbelievable.
I'm still using Logic 8.02, largely due to the complaints of memory spikes associated with Logic 9 when it was first released. I'm wondering if that situation has changed with the updates since the initial release.
My understanding is that certain plugin and/or audio instruments were causing the memory spikes. Aside from Logic and its plugs, I use Toontrack's EZDrummer, Garritan's Personal Orchestra, and PodFarm from Line 6. That's about it.
Any thoughts on the wisdom of upgrading?
