I have an older pc with just 48 ram. When I record on sound recorder anything longer than 120 sec. later when I open it to hear it, it about kills my pc trying to open it. I guess sound recorder uses a lot of ram or something. Upon opening over 120 sec, recording it actually takes about 45 seconds and my pc grinds like crazy and almost wants to freeze up. But I can instantly open an mp3 10 times the size. This tells me that the sound recorder for windows is a poor unit, and makes me wonder if it takes more memory or higher processor than for most programs if it is large.
