Re: [Digital BW] Puzzled by PS scratch drives

2005-03-23 by scott_now_coming

I just had  a problem with my last computer that only had 512mb of 
ram.

I tried opening files that were around 1gb and it was pretty much 
useless. The scratch disk wasn't much help.

My new pc has 3gb ram. Much better!

Move to quarantaine
