Dave, Thanks. I think that will work. I only do this for a hobby, and my shows are usually always under half an hour in length.
Thanks again, Jean ----- Original Message ----- From: David Hurdon To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2007 8:51 PM Subject: Re: [AP] Noob In my experience, working with two drives in addition to your OS drive is sufficient for most of us using up to date systems. I have a second internal and two external (LaCie firewire 400) drives on a core 2 PC at the moment, and previously ran the same drive set up on a P4 1.8 GHz system. Anyone whose business is busy enough to require every second available can afford to run leading edge hardware, but if that isn't your situation, keep media files off your OS drive and render and export from a drive two to a drive three and you'll be happy with the performance. Of course, defragging and watching your free space remains important but that's entry level stuff.

Can you use an external HDD for the scratch disks, or does it have to be internal? I bought a 320 GB HDD to use as a scratch disk, but didn't see any improvement in performance, and then someone told me it has to be internal not external. Is that really the case?
