[Avid-L2] Re: Z800 Performance

 

I'm gonna post this dumb question here, but, does AVID actually use more than 3GB of RAM? I thought that was the max amount of RAM it could use, or is there a true 64bits version of AVID now?

I don't understand.

Whoever can explain this RAM madness to me wins a price. (my gratitude)
