One of the changes to the EXS24 in Logic Pro/Express 8 is in the way  
it handles RAM. In previous versions, the EXS24 shared memory space  
with Logic, meaning that the total maximum RAM footprint for Logic and  
all instances of the EXS was a bit less than 4 GB. In Logic Pro/ 
Express 8, the EXS24 addresses its own memory space. This means that  
EXS24 instances can use as much RAM as is available on the computer.  
To take advantage of this:

	• You must have at least 5 GB of RAM installed on your computer.
	• Virtual Memory must be enabled for the EXS24. To enable Virtual  
Memory:
		• Insert an instance of the EXS24 on a software instrument track.
		• In the upper right area of the EXS24 interface, click Options and  
choose Virtual Memory.
