HI
Have and older pc, 1.6 Ghz with 768 mb ram. Should I get more. Will get a faster, but than I can still use my old ram on that. What do you say guys?

It depends. If you use more than 768 mB the OS has to use the HD as temporary storage which basically sucks. But then again chances are you're not going over 768 and you won't notice one bit of difference.

Well I am trying the nebula 2 plug. It is great, but sometimes i get the crack noise. Though I geusse I need more cpu for that to go away.

or increase your buffer size

I just wanted to add that if you have 512 mB you most likely will notice an improvement and if you have 1 gig you most likely will not. That is a very sweeping statement based purely on my own experience and will depend heavily on other factors. But if there's anything like a base case,there is probably where it's at. So 768 is in the middle. And your CPU isn't exactly state of the art. So more likely than not,your RAM amount isn't the bottle neck here. Possible but not likely.

----Ya know, I think there's a lot of factors involved. On my older P3 500 machine, after 192megs, it didn't seem to matter. And now, with a P4 2400, I doubled it to 1gig, and I see/experience no real difference from 512megs. So yeah, I dunno, this post was both pseudo informative, and kinda useless at the same time.

Just want to add that as I went from 256 samples to 384 samples, I only exxeded my latency from 6 ms to 9 ms. And I think I can live with that.

Get more ram or not
