Processing Power - Silver vs Gold?

[RCRees]

Again, I appologize if this has been answered, I'm new here. I currently use Sonar 4 and EWSilver Orchestra. I would like to upgrade to Gold, but am curious as to the REAL difference between processing power for Gold vs Silver. I have a Sony VIO with a Pentium 4 2.5 with 1 gig of ram (unfortunately, this particular VIO maxes out at 1 gig). I have a separate hard drive to house my libraries. Currently, EWSilver works great in Sonar... no problems at all. Should I be alright using Gold? Looking for any similar experiences.

Thanks for any info!

With 1GB of RAM, you'll probably find yourself freezing tracks pretty often. But there's nothing that will prevent you from getting the great sound of Gold!

Best,
Stefan

Thanks, Stefan, for this info and also for the other thread. I now feel confident enough to go ahead with the Gold purchase. Track freezing is a pretty cool function in Sonar. And with the release trails in Gold, I shouldn't have to apply the extra processing of reverb to get that "Hall" feel.

You guys are the best!
