Memory > consumption? Where would you like to start? I wish people would get over the subject construction and deal with the problem being identified. The memory consumption of FCx systems is unusually high. I have been trying for years now to pin down exactly what process uses up all the processing power and memory an failed. Even though one can run FCx on a machine with 128M of memory it runs very slowly. At work being frustrated beyond belief by this phenomena I took out my checkbook and bought memory for a company owned machine. That is the problem the original poster is talking about.
