THe problem is not just the ram, but in the first place it is the fact that, to some users, the performance gone down the hill.
The hardware is something that is extremely personal. As a DP that needs to render and convert lots of archives on the fly, sometimes in places that have no structure, I just CAN'T have a high end computer in my BACKPACK.
i have no big knowledge about computers and stuff, but I get kinda angry when my system can handle boujou to track a scene, maya and vray to create and render a realistic piece of the scene, after effects to compose with no big issuee... And this workflow is less time demanding than convert the raw archives, an operation that should not be and never was a big deal.
then i find myself considering install the previous version or other programs that deliver less quality, but is faster, as davinci would be in my case. Thats the point to those that have problems here.
