Good point - and with that, I remember having to setup BeOS for very VERY large amounts of swap for doing direct-to-disk recordings and mastering - even on a Mac. On a Mac we ended up having to use 3 x 4gb SCSI drives JUST FOR TEMP/SWAP for one song - songs in raw format were anywhere from 80mb to 200mb - so overall, having a huge swap for vid-ed is par for the course... (An SAP server I helped setup in Richardson, Tx had to use 4gb of SWAP on an HP-UX box...and that certainly ain't for video editing) -- Wed, 19 Feb 2003 07:45:00 +1100 7:45am up 1 day, 16:41, 5 users, load average: 0.36, 0.30, 0.28 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * RH 8.0 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the ____LAST time I take travel suggestions from Ray Bradbury!
