[QLab] ram

[Joshua Frankel]

Hello all, 

On an intel core duo 32 bit system, 

Is there any gain in performance between having 3gb of ram and 4gb ram?

or is qlab limited to 2gb ram anyway?

Thanks so much

Josh

The 3 dual core g5 mac pro machines I have used have not been up to scratch if you need audio cues to play at a strict instant. I've had lags of just over a second in a non intensive show. I will not accept them for shows I design. I have had a pm say "it worked fine on the last show/s" but when I upload my cue list and fire off critical cues the lag is too significant. If you need visual sound cues I highly recommend not using them. If it is just scene changes, or mood underscores it might be fine. Lesser spec'd dual core machines don't have this issues.

I still have admiration for these machines but just not for Qlab2.

Cheers,

Peter.

I have a couple of shows that run fine on a dual 2.0 G5. Heavy overlapping audio, lots of groups and midi, and a couple of low res video clips is about as far as I push those machines. Like any playback machine configuration, disk, ram, and cpu speed all combine to make up the whole picture of capacity. Older machines with lean software, fast, empty disks and lots of ram can still go pretty far. Just don't expect to push the envelope.

In my experience I have found single core G5's not capable enough to run Q2, but will run Q1 just fine. I know people who've successfully ran audio only shows using a dual core G5's on Q2.

Best of luck.

How limiting is a PPC G5 for Qlab?

Hi Josh,

QLab is a 32-bit application so is limited to 4GB of RAM. Because other software must always be running as well, it's probably beneficial to have as much as 5 or 6 GB, but beyond that adding more wouldn't contribute much to QLab.

Best,
Chris
