I'm not having any particular problems with it other than I need to put in more RAM. I have the stock 256 MB, and when it bounces my mixes, the CPU meter is full. I typically have between 6 to 10 tracks in a mix at a time, and am still able to bounce the final mix - but it is putting a load on the processor. If I max it out to 1 gig I won't have that problem, or if I do then I have one hell of a mix with probably too many plugins/tracks anyway.

My advice would be to go with minimum 1 gb RAM, but go with 2 gb if you can. Also make sure you are using your plugins efficiently through buses when needed, instead of using the same reverb plugin with the same parameters on several tracks - using buses when you can will take some load off the CPU.
