Hello…
Running CS3 on a brand-new workstation designed by ADK. This machine has been optimized for performance by the mfg.; & sports a quad-core CPU, 2 big drives; & 4 GB’s of RAM.
Still, tho…Photoshop’s saving of files & projects seems eternally slow…so, 2 questions:
1) Why?
2) When I installed the program…I was not prompted about choosing a secondary drive for (I forget what Photoshop calls their primary data files).
This PC was optimized for digital audio; & for workstations of this type it is advised to place the primary data (in that case, audio files) on a separate "data" drive. In this way, the OS & audio multitracking programs are on one drive & the audio data is on another, for higher efficiency accessing & hence a more streamlined workflow.
For "graphics" type workstations…is it the photos & various other image files that are supposed to reside on a separate drive?…or in the case of Photoshop…someone told me once that a piece of the program itself (I’ve forgotten the specific term) is supposed to be placed on a separate drive.
Can someone please direct me on how to set the app up correctly in this regard; & do you think this may be the cause of the problem? (since I certainly expected better performance on a new, state-of-the-art machine).
Thanks,
mark4man
