Hopefully this will be of use to other pc users or potential upgraders , regarding my i9 pc.
Recently upgraded from the X99 platform to X299 , and after discussing it with Pete at SCAN UKwas able to upgrade to 256gb of ddr4 ram.
As far as I know , this is not widely advertised , unless the on server pcs or crazy powerful macs.
It’s corsair 2666 and it runs stable with an ASUs X299 prime motherboard . Some people may be thinking , that’s just a silly amount , however, I had one template about 90gb of ram , and it was causing all sorts of problems with Cubase and system crashes .
RAM prices are now back down to sensible levels, so anyone with a similar set up might be interested to find out if they can go with that much.
SCAN computers UK now offer it I believe on certain custom systems.
Even ASUs themselves don’t have it in their list of supported memory - you think it would shout it from the roof for media creators.
On a separate side note, I run a Rme Raydat and even with an i9 , in Cubase 10 I find I can’t run certain libraries or patches below 256 samples of latency ; for example the virtuoso violin patch in spitfire Solo strings or some divisi patches in aflattus. Could any one with similar libraries test these patches and see if they too struggle to get below 256.
Was hitting them hard with a lot of voices, but only what can be played on the keyboard live
Sorry for long post hope it helps someone
