Maximum Performance Guidelines
To provide full 32-track, 24-bit performance on Pro Tools LE with high edit densities and the maximum number of Plug-Ins follow these guidelines:
Intel Pentium 4 or Xeon with Intel 845, Intel 850 or Intel 860 chipset, Single Processor
AMD Athlon XP or Thunderbird with pure VIA chipset, Single Processor
Performance and the number of Plug-Ins will vary from PC to PC; however, faster processor speeds produce better results
Total System RAM: 384 MB or higher
File System (all drives): FAT32 or NTFS
Also note that we have seen better performance on computers that have less components attached and non-custom versions of the BIOS or Windows XP
