moreover, with XP home edition, if you go above 1GB it’ll be a little lost, and will waste a lot of it,
and with the swap disk space management, you’ll find yourself with 1.5-2Gb of swap disk.
I’m on winXP Pro, with 1Gb of ram, and i’m finding myself with 3Gb of swap disk… so just beware of windows a little ;o) … if you’re on a mac you’ll be just fine … i hope ;o)

That’s what I heard to but I don’t see how it could help speed wise since you are not going to use the two partitions at the same time. The only thing really helping is having enough memory to not need a
scratch
disk; Knowing that memory is like money: you never have enough of it no matter what.

Nothing. It’s a laptop, so there’s no second drive fo photshop to write
it’s
scratch files to. What can help a little is if you partision your drive
into
two – although this wont have anywhere near the same performance
increase,
it will have some as you can only allow Photoshop to put data there. A
nice
unfragmented volume (partision) always helps a little…

I have just purchased a laptop with xp software. When i start up
photoshop
it pops up a box saying that all my
memory is on 1 drive and recommends sharing it on other drives. The
laptop
only has c drive so what should i do?
