GarageBand MultiTrack Podcasting with 2GB?

[Mazinger-Z]

I bought a refurb with 2GB of RAM in it, I'd like to run GarageBand and do multi-track editing for podcasting.

Can the Macbook handle this with 2GB? A friend (who is excessive in his specs, putting 10 GB into his Mac Pro as we speak) said that OS X is a hog on memory.

You should be fine. I have a 2.16GHZ MacBook and have note had any latency issues.
