I have read the posts that recommend employing a separate, physical drive as a scratch disk for PS. In the coming weeks I will be getting a new Windows Vista computer, on which I will be reinstalling CS2. Here are the pertinent specs:
Intel® Core2 Duo Processor E4300 (2MB L2 Cache,1.80GHz,800 FSB) 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 4DIMMs
250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache
By the standards represented here, my Photoshop use is definitely low-octane–not huge files, not for pro printing, etc. But I do want to set up a separate scratch disk.
My question is this: In my old computer I have a six-year-old, 20 GB hard drive that I am sure is slower than the drive in the new computer. Which would be better–to use the slower but physically separate drive, or a partition on the faster drive as a scratch disk?
Thank you for your advice.
