rip computer for l25500

[quicksigns]

I have a separate rip computer for my l25500 and my 8000. How much gig of memory is enough. I had 8 gb and just double it, but don't see the different. Is 16gb too much and just a waste? If it is I want to take it out and use it for a different computer

I doubt your ripping files over 8 gig so I see having that much irrelevant.
Sounds like you need a faster processor if your having problems.

No, I'm not having problem with the rip at all, I was just wondering if 16gb is just too much to waste on a rip computer.

Ya, use it somewhere else!

If you are running a 32 bit OS such as win 7 32 bit then you have way too much ram.
If you have a 64 bit OS such as win 7 64 then you have plenty of RAM.

I run a 8 gig RAM Win 7 64 bit with an I7 processor and have never run out of memory.

Rendering time is near instant for 3D cnc files and smoking hot fast for RIP files.

if your running XP, then the memory will not be taken advantage of
