Premiere Elements 2 old memory question

[AVITRY]

Hi all. This question goes back some in time. I recalled something about the PE2 program having trouble when computers had 2gigs of memory and when one of those gigs was removed the problems were also gone.

I just put together a computer using an older P4 Abit motherboard with the Intel 865PE chipset. I was considering puting 2gigs of memory in it, when I remembered something about PE2 and this memory issue.

I'm trying to avoid new problems if I can. I also have Realtek audio on this MBoard as well, and I recalled issues there also .... LOL Hope someone can address these concerns a little more specifically than my old brain recalls.

thanks!

Hi Joe,
Happy New Year

I think the Realtek audio issues came in version 3 and later, but it is strictly a driver issue.
Usually updating to the most recent driver will solve any problems. If you have audio issues you know where to come for the answers

The memory issue was very sporadic, I never had that problem and neither did most people.
You should go ahead and put in 2 or 3 gb, whatever you have, and just see what happens. Chances are you won't have any issues

Thanks Chuck... and Happy New Year to you and to all!

Agree. I used PrElv2 until very recently and with 4Gb RAM I never had any problems. Just keep in mind that anything over 3Gb will be unusable with a 32 bit OS which will only be able to 'see' about 3.2Gb.
