I am considering a computer that has 512 MB of RAM and a 80 GB Hard Drive.
It comes with Win Xp installed and I feel sure the H.D. is not partitioned.
Just one humongous C:\ drive.
I could easily spare a few GB for a scratch disk., but I would have to put it on the C:\ drive because I don’t have "Partition Magic" and I am not comfortable using the f-disk utility on a new H.D. to create a separate partition.
Would it do any good to create, say a 3 GB scratch disk on the C:\ drive, or should I just let Win Xp provide the scratch disk space by default.
Do you think that with 512 MB of RAM I’d even be using the PS scratch disk?
I usually work on images less than 15 MB and rarely have more than 10 layers working at one time.
Thanks…..Bob Williams
P.S. The computer comes with nVidia GeForce 4 MX, but it has an open AGP slot.
Does GeForce 4 Mx work pretty well with PS 7 or should I get something like a Matrox 450/550.
I don’t play games so I really don’t need 3D graphics capability. BW
