I do agree and also I suggest to have FAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTT disks
...
Photoshop ALWAYS goes to disk ... I have 256MB RAM on a AMD 800MHz and still
there is disk activity ... this is why I received a great improvement when I
have passed to 2 x Ultra160 SCSI disks ... 1 x the working area and
operating system and the other for programs and data ...
SCSI also accept to perform multiple I/O at the same time ... this is not
true for IDE .
My 2c ... :-)
Sincerely.
