More RAM allows you to allocate more memory to your audio applications, which can help you reduce monitoring latency, decrease processing time, increase redraw speeds for graphic waveform display, and allow your system to handle more tracks and greater processor intensity. So an hour's worth of CD-quality stereo audio takes up about 600MB of disk space. Partitioning your hard drive so that the operating system is on a separate partition from the audio applications and files optimizes system performance, as well as making your audio processing less susceptible to hiccups and crashes. The first thing to establish is how many inputs and outputs in what format you need. Check for driver support in the audio software you'll be using with the interface.
