Hey there,
My HD is partitioned
C: 5gig (1.8 free)
D: 25gig(15 free)
How should I set it up in PSCS for best performance?
Are these two physical disks or are they partitions on the same physical drive?
If it is on the same physical drive, I’d opt for the larger free space. If it is a separate physical drive, I’d opt for the one without the operating system.
If you only have one physical drive, have you considered adding a second drive to your system? Moving your data to a separate physical drive and setting up a swap area there makes a big difference in performance. Big drives are relatively inexpensive: I’ve seen a 120 Gb with a highspeed controller for around US$130 at a local member warehouse. Comparable pricing on ‘net too. You can also shop garage sales, etc and pick up a spare 20 – 30 Gig and use it just for swap space. If you do this with Microsoft operating systems, you’ll get a big performance boost. I don’t know enough about Mac to know if this works for tem as well.
