FC3 sucks. It takes up too much memory!

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. What is the
solution?
