i recently downloaded pro tools on my computer...which took
for ever by the way.

everything was fine until i went to install it on my
and it told me i need 768 megabytes of ram
and my computer only had 390724 kb.

what can i do to fix this? i really want to use this
program ...id rather the cheapest way if possible but
if not i can buy whatever.

liddlelady:

It appears that your computer has 384 MB of RAM and is a very old one.

Can you advise what the brand name, model name, and model number of it is? This information will be embossed on the case or on a sticker.
