How much ram do I need for a DAW to run faster?

[Numero Uno]

How much RAM (computer memory) do I need to improve the performance of a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and make everything run smoothly without having to bounce tracks so often?

The speed of the CPU is what determines whether your computer will run faster or not. You have to think of the CPU of a music production computer as the brain behind all the processes that happen inside your DAW. Yes RAM (Random Access Memory) is useful when running a DAW project with many sample libraries but it's pointless to worry about RAM without replacing the slow CPU.

The most common mistake that people make when buying a computer for music production is that they put the horse before the cart meaning they just look at the amount of RAM a computer has without actually checking the benchmarks of the CPU inside that music production computer they want to buy.
