![]() Ableton generally does not recommend using RAM for samples since it is much less graceful than drive based samples when pushed to the limit of performance (from the users manual). All-in-all, that is a very good system and will suit your needs. The 8GB of RAM and GeForce MX150 are also very good and the 500GB SSD drive will be fast. If you're on a budget go with 16GB RAM but get the Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD (or similar fast SSD) and cut your disk access time by a factor of 10 which will more likely improve your Ableton performance since recording and sampling mostly go to disk. Yes, that is a good system, the i5-8265U has 4 cores and 8 threads, so will run Photoshop and Illustrator with ease. RAM latency is measured in nanoseconds whereas audio latency is measured in milliseconds and they are largely unrelated. If you went to 64bit Ableton you could obviously quadruple that easily but who on earth is going to run 512 simultaneous tracks of anything. ![]() ![]() My 32 bit Ableton install can run around 128 simultaneous tracks with Impulse as a benchmark and still be under 4GB usage so in that sense it's overkill. For the extra hundred bucks or so it seemed like a no brainer to add matched memory right away. I have the GSkill Ripjaws Z 1866 (9-9-9-24) which works great, but I started out with 32GB so I couldn't tell you whether it was actually any improvement over a 16GB implementation. ![]()
