Wait wait wait.. You bought this beast for Music Production right? :P Not for playing movies and stuff.. haha.. I know.. I do the same thing. I have mine insured as "Recording Equipment" which is its main task.. but you can't help yourself when you have that much power and capacity, to use it for other things to. Mine is certainly not as big and powerful as yours but you know what I mean... it's not a toy, right? :) haha.. at least that what we tell our wives/girlfriends.. if I had one I would.. lol :D

I think you could just about fly the space shuttle remotely with that beast.. haha..Good stuff man. Just one thing though.. how come it couldn't handle the tasks with 2GB? I have 2GB and everything is fine... How much resoruces does Cubase take??
