| 279206 | 2004-10-08 03:08:00 | Hey guys, Just doing some spring cleaning, wanna give the scratch file for ps7 their own partition on the C drive, and put my pagefile in its own on the D drive. However, how big are the scratch disks for photoshop? and do I need to use all seven? Also, what is a sane size for the windows pagefile.. i currently have it set to its max of 4095MB... Is that too much? Cheers Willie_M |

| 279208 | 2004-10-08 09:18:00 | Scratch disks - you have to set these up each time you start photoshop, I normally only use one or two. Page file - I think it is best to keep it at the max setting and on a different disk. How much ram do you have? |

| 279209 | 2004-10-08 09:37:00 | If you put the scratchfile for Photoshop on a separate hard drive from the one you are using for the operating system you will notice a large increase in speed when using Photoshop if you have an older cpu. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 279210 | 2004-10-08 09:53:00 | If you have a pagefile of 4095MB and it was getting used to the max your PC would be slowing to a crawl and thrashing the hell out of the hard drive. Any more than a gig is a waste and even that is probably on the high side. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 279211 | 2004-10-08 10:00:00 | I took it that the 4095 was a typo and it was 495Mb. I think it should be 1.5 times the amount of ram. | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 279212 | 2004-10-08 10:56:00 | I have seen where they suggest twice the amount of ram but to me the maths of that does not add up. Say you have Win98 and 64MB twice that would not be enough whereas if you had 1GB twice that would be a waste. It also depends on the number of apps sitting in the background doing nothing. If your swap file is being used too much you should aquire some more ram. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 279213 | 2004-10-08 12:10:00 | It wasnt a typo when i sed 4095... I have 512MB of ram... |
