ram or diskstreaming confused..

[bartp]

sorry for asking this simple question.
i was under the impression that the advantage of gigastudio was the ability to use unlimited large soundlibraries by using your harddrive as memory.
from reading this forum i now understand that RAM also has a lot to do with it.
ive got 512 mb . and its full in no time,
so whats the deal with diskstreaming.and ram?

GigaStudio needs to load in the first 64kb or so of all samples to be able to play it back instantly when you press a key.
