Hi,
I have PS 7, and have just got a new PC to run it on (P4 3GHz, 1Gb RAM, 120Gb HD).
I still have my old PC around, which has two 4Gb SCSI disks installed in it. So far so good.
My question is….
Would it be worth installing the Adaptec 2940UW and one (or even both) of the SCSI disks in the new machine, for the PS scratch area to live on? The disks are IBM 34330Ws, which are ok but not, as far as I know, especially fast (5400rpm). However it would put the scratch on another drive, which is apparently
a ‘good thing’. Is 4Gb big enough for scratch in a 1Gb RAM environment?
So, to summarise, I understand that having a separate disk drive for the scratch space is good. But, is it still good is that separate drive is an older, slightly slower SCSI disk?
(I’ll be putting a SCSI card in the new machine anyway, to run my scanners.)
