If you're planning on running DAW software on the same machine, you really do need 256M. It's also a good idea to run it in systray mode and build an environment or equiv. to control it - that way the graphics can only eat all your RAM, not your cpu cycles as well :-) >The synths on board are great , the modulars are very flexible and >double as fx units.
