Re: getting the most out of RAM with AE CS3

[Kevin Camp] "i also just read a note (by a guy who wrote the ae manual) that multiprocessing will work best with 2gb of ram per core... he went on to say that you may get better performance by restricting the number of cores available to match the 2gb per core ratio."

well i decided to test this one.... i have a 4-core macpro with 4gb of ram, i restricted the core to just 2 and i found that it render slower than with all 4 cores... but only about 20% slower. so i pulled 2gb from another system and threw it and restricted ae to 3 cores (with 6gb ram) and ae rendered my benchmark file at just about the same speed as with 4 cores.

so there maybe something to the 2gb per core sweetspot, but it doesn't seem to make the performance boost that was suggested by the info i read earlier...
