RE: [Digital BW] Re: SCSI or IDE for new Photoshop machine (OT)

2002-01-22 by Richard Wolfson

Thanks to list members who offered advice on SCSI v. IDE for a Photoshop
machine. I decided to use the fastest IDE drives I could find: 2 x 40 GB
in a RAID-0 pair for Photoshop scratch, and one 120 GB (with an 8 MB
buffer) for system/applications/documents. 

Then I spent all $ saved by not buying SCSI, plus more, on memory: a
total of 3 GB of DDR (double data rate) RAM. I can't be sure if this is
optimum, but I suspect it won't suck.
