I am using a mac pro with 4 processors and 4 gb of ram. Sometimes I can run 2 probtracks in parallel, and sometimes I crash it or slow it way down.
I hope you mean the probtrackx crashes not the mac itself? If your mac is crashing then this may indicate some hardware reliability issues with your mac. Machines shouldn't crash as a result of running user tasks.
You are absolutely right, probtrackx croaks...not the machine.
I've found 16 gb of FB apple certified dimms online for $630...
so we think that is worth a shot.
Thanks for the input!
