1. Re: CS5.5 So slow.
Dave LaRonde Oct 20, 2011 11:22 AM (in response to X82)You may think 6 gigs is a lot, but it's a woefully small amount of memory for AE 10.5. That's evidenced by the amount of work your hard drive is doing; it's caching just to keep the application running.
You need more memory.
In the meantime, you really can't keep all sorts of applications open while you run AE; shut down all applications except for what's absolutely necessary.

I'm building a new computer soon, I'm getting an SSD to use but also 8gb ram. I was going to go for 16gb but I was told it would pointless. What do you advise?
