Well it seems Windows 7 64 bit needs 2 GB of RAM? . So I have vista 64 bit on 2.4 ghz quadcore PC with 4 GB of RAM, running Reaper, Reason 4, NI Audio Kontrol Interface, Kore 2, NI Maschine, Novation Sl Remote 61, Omnisphere/Trilogy, and more VST's. Everything runs great. I just bought this new desktop three months ago. I have 3 GB of RAM physically available. Maybe I should get the 32 bit version of Windows 7 which require 1 GB of RAM? Thoughts?
