Of course we all know that the more you can have in RAM the less you need to hassle the Hard drives for data

Since your doing audio the RAM will hold cached data which will speed things up

Also Mac OS X will make good use of the memory when your not using it yourself so hopefully you should notice a good difference :cool:
