Ideal Windows computer spec

Ideal Windows computer spec

2004-08-16 by yaakovsinclair

Firstly, many thanks to all those who took the time and trouble to 
answer my previous questions.  Your help and expertise is very much 
appreciated.

I have to upgrade my computer.  Here in Israel, it seems that the 
vast majority of people that I know use Windows.  Is there a really 
good reason to use Mac over Windows XP for Photoshop and printing on 
the 2100?  I hope not.

Second.  Given that Windows is on a par with Mac, what would be an 
ideal spec for a fast Windows machine.
Thanks in advance

I use an Athlon XP 2800+, (something like a Pentium IV 2.2 Ghz, but
cheaper).

Nvidia video board. (there are plenty of models)
1 Gygabyte of RAM.

Two disks of 80 Gygabytes each. The second is used to backup the first one.

And a Samsung 193P LCD monitor (very very nice).

Memory is very important. Sometimes more than CPU speed.

FYI...Photoshop runs much more efficiently of you have two physical drives
and make the scratch disk on the drive that does not contain the PS program
files ie PS will normally install on drive c, make the scratch disk drive
d...I second the memory recommendation...I have a gig and sometimes want
more especially when working on a 16 bit file...

If you are doing photoshop and printing think SATA drives (faster
than IDE) and get more than one, at least 1 GB of RAM, and if you
really want to go first class, get dual CPU.

RE: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

2004-08-16 by Joe Dempsey

A friend and I just built a machine with these specs and it screams:

P4 / 3.2
2 GB Dual 3200 Ram
Gigabyte/Radeon R9800 XT Graphics Accelerator
Asus P4P800E-DeLuxe (Ticky about  the memory it uses)
3-15,000 RPM 17 GB SCSI HDD (One for C-Drive, One for work-in-progress, One
dedicated PS scratch disk)
1-250 SATA 250 GB HDD for storage

The neat thing about SCSI is that they operate off a SCSI card independent
of the processor. All the processor does is send an instrucition to the SCSI
(or that's how I understand it). The machine is blazingly fast. The SCSI
drives are reconditioned and cost $85 each and work fine. I also set up dual
LaCie Electron 19 Blue IV monitors, refurbished for about half price. I can
run resource intensive PS operations on 600 dpi, 16 bit files and it does
not bog down. XP Pro, (Legal OEM version).
Kindest regards,
Joe

I was about to suggest getting _more_ than 1GB of RAM, especially if you're 
working with MF scans at all.  I'm scanning at only 24bit with Epson 3200's 
at work (which is why I scan at 24 bit, since 48bit, 3200 dpi scans are too 
big for me to be dealing with at this point), and when I eventually get 
these home and edit these on my home machine, the various edits take a long 
time.  Even cropping can take several minutes.  I am using 1GB of DDR 2700 
RAM, on an Athlon 2700+.  Scratch disk is a separate physical disk.

RE: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

2004-08-16 by Joe Dempsey

For PS, a separate mechanical drive and a ton of RAM are probably more
important than processor speed. The ASUS board I have will support 4GB in
one GB  increments. As soon as budget permits, I'll go to 3 GB and then to
the big 4.

With respect to video cards, don't waste your money on high-end 3D graphics
cards, unless you're also heavily into gaming. For photo editing, you want a
graphics card that can support high resolution 2D at good scan rates. Matrox
fits the bill nicely. A dual head card with two monitors can also be a plus.
However, be aware that Windows can't do independent color management on two
different monitors, so if you go that route, either reserve one monitor for
displaying pictures, or get two identical monitors.

I'm not sure how profiling packages deal with two monitors. If they're the
same, then it ought to be possible for the software to build lookup tables
for the video card that take out any residual differences, at which point
one profile would work equally for both. It would definitely take some sort
of explicit dual-monitor support in the profiling software, I would think.

As a long-time Mac user, my preference would seem fairly obvious, but 
I have to say my experience with most any box running Windows 2000 
Professional has been very, very good - I wouldn't jump ship for it, 
but you wouldn't have to put a gun to my head to use it, which is 
high praise indeed. I'm somewhat less thrilled about XP, however.

"On a par"?  Well, okay. :-)

I happen to think that plenty of RAM and a big, fast hard disk with a 
healthy-sized buffer is a bit more important than, say, a 4gHz 
processor.  After that, it's all about software configuration, which 
is more involved than I can go into here.

Are identical monitors _that_ identical? I wouldn't have thought so. 
And in any case, couldn't the palette display be enough smaller than 
the image display to make identical displays appreciably more 
expensive?

My impression is that a palette display needn't be larger than a 
notebook's screen, and that someone who needs a notebook anyway might 
get a very economical - of space as well as money - workstation by 
using a desktop-replacement notebook together with a second, usually 
larger and probably better, display for images. But I agree that it 
would be nice to see the same colors on the notebook's screen as on 
the image display, especially if the notebook is a traveling 
companion for a digital camera.

I know nothing about Macs, which is why I limited my statement to Windows.

Identical monitors will certainly have identical gamuts, because the
phosphors or color filters will be the same. The remaining differences are
exactly the sort of thing that monitor calibration software eliminates, by
building appropriate color lookup tables. Simple LUTs can't correct for
different primary colors, which is why you can't use them to match
dissimilar monitors.

I am in the market for a killer machine. What is the ASUS board you mention,
that can handle 4Gigs ram? And where did your friend buy the machine.ie, is
it branded, or did your firend build from scratch?

For PS, a separate mechanical drive and a ton of RAM are probably more
important than processor speed. The ASUS board I have will support 4GB in
one GB  increments. As soon as budget permits, I'll go to 3 GB and then to
the big 4.

  I was about to suggest getting _more_ than 1GB of RAM, especially if
you're
  working with MF scans at all.  I'm scanning at only 24bit with Epson
3200's
  at work (which is why I scan at 24 bit, since 48bit, 3200 dpi scans are
too
  big for me to be dealing with at this point), and when I eventually get
  these home and edit these on my home machine, the various edits take a
long
  time.  Even cropping can take several minutes.  I am using 1GB of DDR 2700
  RAM, on an Athlon 2700+.  Scratch disk is a separate physical disk.

Subject: [Digital BW] Ideal Windows computer spec

 

Firstly, many thanks to all those who took the time and trouble to 
answer my previous questions.  Your help and expertise is very much 
appreciated.

I have to upgrade my computer.  Here in Israel, it seems that the 
vast majority of people that I know use Windows.  Is there a really 
good reason to use Mac over Windows XP for Photoshop and printing on 
the 2100?  I hope not.

Second.  Given that Windows is on a par with Mac, what would be an 
ideal spec for a fast Windows machine.
Thanks in advance
Yaakov Asher Sinclair

Chris:
Built from scratch ... here's the case
http://www.ocsystem.com/ocdiwasu10to.html. Here's the motherboard
http://www.asus.com/products/mb/socket478/p4c800-e_d/overview.htm I'd get
some wider opinions on a graphics accelerator based on Paul R's comments ...
save a few bucks. I ordered 120 mm fans on the case and the processor is
running between 98 and 110 degrees. Dual matched memory is a good opition.
Hope  this helps

  Joe-

  I am in the market for a killer machine. What is the ASUS board you
mention,
  that can handle 4Gigs ram? And where did your friend buy the machine.ie,
is
  it branded, or did your firend build from scratch?

  For PS, a separate mechanical drive and a ton of RAM are probably more
  important than processor speed. The ASUS board I have will support 4GB in
  one GB  increments. As soon as budget permits, I'll go to 3 GB and then to
  the big 4.

    I was about to suggest getting _more_ than 1GB of RAM, especially if
  you're
    working with MF scans at all.  I'm scanning at only 24bit with Epson
  3200's
    at work (which is why I scan at 24 bit, since 48bit, 3200 dpi scans are
  too
    big for me to be dealing with at this point), and when I eventually get
    these home and edit these on my home machine, the various edits take a
  long
    time.  Even cropping can take several minutes.  I am using 1GB of DDR
2700
    RAM, on an Athlon 2700+.  Scratch disk is a separate physical disk.

Chris:
Built from scratch ... here's the case
http://www.ocsystem.com/ocdiwasu10to.html. Here's the motherboard
http://www.asus.com/products/mb/socket478/p4c800-e_d/overview.htm I'd get
some wider opinions on a graphics accelerator based on Paul R's comments ...
save a few bucks. I ordered 120 mm fans on the case and the processor is
running between 98 and 110 degrees. Dual matched memory is a good opition.
Hope  this helps
Joe

  I am in the market for a killer machine. What is the ASUS board you
mention,
  that can handle 4Gigs ram? And where did your friend buy the machine.ie,
is
  it branded, or did your firend build from scratch?

  For PS, a separate mechanical drive and a ton of RAM are probably more
  important than processor speed. The ASUS board I have will support 4GB in
  one GB  increments. As soon as budget permits, I'll go to 3 GB and then to
  the big 4.

    I was about to suggest getting _more_ than 1GB of RAM, especially if
  you're
    working with MF scans at all.  I'm scanning at only 24bit with Epson
  3200's
    at work (which is why I scan at 24 bit, since 48bit, 3200 dpi scans are
  too
    big for me to be dealing with at this point), and when I eventually get
    these home and edit these on my home machine, the various edits take a
  long
    time.  Even cropping can take several minutes.  I am using 1GB of DDR
2700
    RAM, on an Athlon 2700+.  Scratch disk is a separate physical disk.

Chris:
I haven't put the final pencil to it yet. My guess is over $2500 and under
$3000. If you were to get a name machine with all those goodies it would be
substantially higher. My strategy now is to stick with this box and every
two to three years upgrade guts as needed (or desired) to take advantage of
new technology advances which might be beneficial.

Re: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

2004-08-17 by Bob Frost

Joe,

Not sure about the need for SCSI these days. A pair of 10,000 rpm WD Raptors 
(35 GB) running in a Raid0 config, which is standard on most high-end 
motherboards these days, are quite nippy.

I have my system on this Raid0 array, and another pair of 250GB WD drives 
for data and backups. Each of these has a small 10GB partition onto which I 
put the windows pagefile on one and the PS scratch disk on the other. At 
least I did; I now have the scratch file in a separate partition on the 
Raid0 system drive. As long as the pagefile is on another drive, this is 
faster, I think. I put the printer's spoolfiles on the unused 10GB partition 
now.

Lots of cases will take four hard drives; you just need to make sure you 
have adequate cooling. Coolermaster cases have two fans blowing directly 
over the drives.

I gave up adding up the cost of my latest PC; it was frightening my wife!

I haven't put the final pencil to it yet. My guess is over $2500 and under
$3000. If you were to get a name machine with all those goodies it would be
substantially higher. My strategy now is to stick with this box and every
two to three years upgrade guts as needed (or desired) to take advantage of
new technology advances which might be beneficial.

I considered the raid setup, but went with the scuzzys because they were
cheap and fast and I could have one dedicated 15,000 rpm drive for a PS and
Illustrator scratch disk. Also Henry, my hardware genius friend who built
the machine is a scuzzy afficianado so I gotta go with his opinion. This box
will take five drives. This continues to be an interesting thread. This box,
by the way has an intake venturi directed at the processor and it is running
from 98 degrees f to about 125-120 when I really sock some bad PS filters to
it. This thread continues to be interesting and educational, we should send
our friend in Israel a thank you note for kicking it off. And yes, I don't
want to send my wife into coronary occlusion with the price. I have a
downtown office and an office at home and spend 90% of my work time at home
listening to WCPE on the internet while I work. The board has a helluva
sound card and with all the resources, the machine still has with a little
Bach and Vivaldi running in the background.  We built the machine in our
dining room and I forbade anyone but Henry and myself to lay hands on
anything in the room. I keep promising to clean it up. It still looks
something like Berlin in late 1945

RE: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

Joe-

 

Given that an image file resides entirely in Ram, what determines the length
of time required to send it to the printer-is it processor, or disk speed,
or what? When I hit the print button, I seem to sit and wait a long time for
the image to spool out before I have PS back.

 

How do you measure processor temp?

Joe-

After giving a print command, do you immediately regain use of photoshop?
This is not a facetious question---I am really curious to find out what is
going on. I am beginning to think that I have a turkey machine here.

  Given that an image file resides entirely in Ram, what determines the
length
  of time required to send it to the printer-is it processor, or disk speed,
  or what? When I hit the print button, I seem to sit and wait a long time
for
  the image to spool out before I have PS back.



  How do you measure processor temp?

  I considered the raid setup, but went with the scuzzys because they were
  cheap and fast and I could have one dedicated 15,000 rpm drive for a PS
and
  Illustrator scratch disk. Also Henry, my hardware genius friend who built
  the machine is a scuzzy afficianado so I gotta go with his opinion. This
box
  will take five drives. This continues to be an interesting thread. This
box,
  by the way has an intake venturi directed at the processor and it is
running
  from 98 degrees f to about 125-120 when I really sock some bad PS filters
to
  it. This thread continues to be interesting and educational, we should
send
  our friend in Israel a thank you note for kicking it off. And yes, I don't
  want to send my wife into coronary occlusion with the price. I have a
  downtown office and an office at home and spend 90% of my work time at
home
  listening to WCPE on the internet while I work. The board has a helluva
  sound card and with all the resources, the machine still has with a little
  Bach and Vivaldi running in the background.  We built the machine in our
  dining room and I forbade anyone but Henry and myself to lay hands on
  anything in the room. I keep promising to clean it up. It still looks
  something like Berlin in late 1945

    Joe,

    Not sure about the need for SCSI these days. A pair of 10,000 rpm WD
  Raptors
    (35 GB) running in a Raid0 config, which is standard on most high-end
    motherboards these days, are quite nippy.

    I have my system on this Raid0 array, and another pair of 250GB WD
drives
    for data and backups. Each of these has a small 10GB partition onto
which
  I
    put the windows pagefile on one and the PS scratch disk on the other. At
    least I did; I now have the scratch file in a separate partition on the
    Raid0 system drive. As long as the pagefile is on another drive, this is
    faster, I think. I put the printer's spoolfiles on the unused 10GB
  partition
    now.

    Lots of cases will take four hard drives; you just need to make sure you
    have adequate cooling. Coolermaster cases have two fans blowing directly
    over the drives.

    I gave up adding up the cost of my latest PC; it was frightening my
wife!

    I haven't put the final pencil to it yet. My guess is over $2500 and
under
    $3000. If you were to get a name machine with all those goodies it would
  be
    substantially higher. My strategy now is to stick with this box and
every
    two to three years upgrade guts as needed (or desired) to take advantage
  of
    new technology advances which might be beneficial.

RE: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

2004-08-17 by Nunan, Mike

Hi Joe,

This is an interesting thread which has caused me to go off and refresh my
knowledge of Windows memory limitations. The one thing I did remember (at
least partly correctly) is that application processes are usually limited to a
maximum of 2GB of virtual memory space for their own memory allocations, with
another 2GB being reserved for system data structures associated with the
process. Obviously it's best if there's enough RAM to allow everything to
reside in physical memory, but what does it achieve to go all the way to 4GB?
I doubt Photoshop would use a whole 2GB of system data structures, so maybe
3GB might be the best compromise.

However, one thing I discovered is that in XP you can use a special "/3GB"
switch in the boot.ini file. This increases the application space to 3GB, but
only if the application has been tagged as knowing how to use it. I don't know
for sure whether CS has been tagged in this way but it should be possible to
find out from the header of the EXE file. If it has, then the full 4GB might
be worth it.

If you really want to go all-out, by using Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
Edition or Datacentre Edition, it's possible to support up to 32GB or 64GB of
physical memory, respectively. I don't know how much you have to pay for
machines that will take this much RAM, but I'd guess they're not cheap yet!
Each process still can't allocate more than 3GB of space, but you could have a
large RAM disk for the swap file.

If anyone is interested in the technical background to all this, here are a
couple of links:

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/server/PAE/PAEmem.mspx
http://www.usenews.org/group/comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage/message-184018.html

(Second one is a Usenet thread that covers the issues, but not without a big
bun-fight half way through!)

Best regards,

-= mike =-

For PS, a separate mechanical drive and a ton of RAM are probably more
important than processor speed. The ASUS board I have will support 4GB in
one GB  increments. As soon as budget permits, I'll go to 3 GB and then to
the big 4.

  I was about to suggest getting _more_ than 1GB of RAM, especially if
you're
  working with MF scans at all.  I'm scanning at only 24bit with Epson
3200's
  at work (which is why I scan at 24 bit, since 48bit, 3200 dpi scans are
too
  big for me to be dealing with at this point), and when I eventually get
  these home and edit these on my home machine, the various edits take a
long
  time.  Even cropping can take several minutes.  I am using 1GB of DDR 2700
  RAM, on an Athlon 2700+.  Scratch disk is a separate physical disk.

RE: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

Joe-

 

I must seem like a jerk about this, but to reiterate, after sending a print
command, do you regain quick access to photoshop? Just to be clear, my
computer is immediately available for other, non-Photoshop tasks, but not
PS.

 

If anyone else is out there on a Mac, please let me know what your
experience is: how long does your  OS 10.3X Mac take to spool a file after
hitting the print command?

Thanks,

Chris

  This is not a facetious question---I am really curious to find out what is
  going on. I am beginning to think that I have a turkey machine here.

  There is a little utility that come with the ASUS board that  you can pop

I

    Given that an image file resides entirely in Ram, what determines the
  length
    of time required to send it to the printer-is it processor, or disk
speed,
    or what? When I hit the print button, I seem to sit and wait a long time
  for
    the image to spool out before I have PS back.



    How do you measure processor temp?

    I considered the raid setup, but went with the scuzzys because they were
    cheap and fast and I could have one dedicated 15,000 rpm drive for a PS
  and
    Illustrator scratch disk. Also Henry, my hardware genius friend who
built
    the machine is a scuzzy afficianado so I gotta go with his opinion. This
  box
    will take five drives. This continues to be an interesting thread. This
  box,
    by the way has an intake venturi directed at the processor and it is
  running
    from 98 degrees f to about 125-120 when I really sock some bad PS
filters
  to
    it. This thread continues to be interesting and educational, we should
  send
    our friend in Israel a thank you note for kicking it off. And yes, I
don't
    want to send my wife into coronary occlusion with the price. I have a
    downtown office and an office at home and spend 90% of my work time at
  home
    listening to WCPE on the internet while I work. The board has a helluva
    sound card and with all the resources, the machine still has with a
little
    Bach and Vivaldi running in the background.  We built the machine in our
    dining room and I forbade anyone but Henry and myself to lay hands on
    anything in the room. I keep promising to clean it up. It still looks
    something like Berlin in late 1945

      Joe,

      Not sure about the need for SCSI these days. A pair of 10,000 rpm WD
    Raptors
      (35 GB) running in a Raid0 config, which is standard on most high-end
      motherboards these days, are quite nippy.

      I have my system on this Raid0 array, and another pair of 250GB WD
  drives
      for data and backups. Each of these has a small 10GB partition onto
  which
    I
      put the windows pagefile on one and the PS scratch disk on the other.
At
      least I did; I now have the scratch file in a separate partition on
the
      Raid0 system drive. As long as the pagefile is on another drive, this
is
      faster, I think. I put the printer's spoolfiles on the unused 10GB
    partition
      now.

      Lots of cases will take four hard drives; you just need to make sure
you
      have adequate cooling. Coolermaster cases have two fans blowing
directly
      over the drives.

      I gave up adding up the cost of my latest PC; it was frightening my
  wife!

      I haven't put the final pencil to it yet. My guess is over $2500 and
  under
      $3000. If you were to get a name machine with all those goodies it
would
    be
      substantially higher. My strategy now is to stick with this box and
  every
      two to three years upgrade guts as needed (or desired) to take
advantage
    of
      new technology advances which might be beneficial.

Re: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

2004-08-17 by Bob Frost

Chris,

Not sure that your image will reside entirely in RAM. Don't forget that the 
PS scratch file is PS's virtual memory; I think you will find that it swaps 
stuff in and out of the scratch disk all the time, just as Windows does with 
its pagefile.

When you click on print, Photoshop has to convert the image file from your 
working space to the printer space (or send it to the printer driver to do 
that). Then the printer driver has to upsample the image to the ppi that it 
works with internally, and then turn it into the CMYK info for printing dots 
of the requisite colors. When that is all done, the resulting file is sent 
(spooled) to the location specified in the Registry (on your system disk if 
you haven't changed it). Then you get back PS for further work. So I guess 
that it is largely processor and RAM dependant, unless you have very slow 
hard disks, or your pagefile, scratch file, and printerspool file are all on 
the same hard disk (when the heads will be whizzing back and forth between 
these). Put at least some of these on separate disks and they can all be 
doing different things at more or less the same time, thus speeding things 
up a lot.

You must have 2GB of RAM for maximum speed; more is not a lot of use since 
PS can only handle 2GB. Any more is only available to other programs or 
windows. And fast RAM is obviously better than slow RAM. A Processor/RAM 
combination that is Dual Channel is faster than ordinary single channel. I 
have a 2.8 P4 processor which handles 2 GB of PC3200 DDR memory in dual 
channel mode. That gives me back PS in pretty quick time; not instant, but 
no hanging about. The 2.8 Northwood P4 is probably best buy at the moment in 
terms of cost/speed.

I have MSI and Abit motherboards and both these have utilities on their 
installation CDs that display processor temp, case temp, fan speeds, 
voltages, etc, with warning limits for all of these, so that if a fan fails, 
or a processor goes over temp, you get a warning, and in extreme cases it 
will turn off the computer to prevent cooking the processor.

Hope this helps,

Bob Frost.

Given that an image file resides entirely in Ram, what determines the length
of time required to send it to the printer-is it processor, or disk speed,
or what? When I hit the print button, I seem to sit and wait a long time for
the image to spool out before I have PS back.

 How do you measure processor temp?

Re: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

2004-08-17 by Bob Frost

Chris,

It might be worth your looking at your printers Properties/Advanced 
settings. Here you can tell it whether to spool a file or print direct to 
the printer (slow), and whether to wait until the last page has been spooled 
or start printing immediately. You should have spool and print immediately 
checked.

You may be able to do other things on your computer before you can use PS 
again, because PS is only using part of your RAM (whatever you set in 
preferences), so while PS is doing its thing in its part of RAM, the other 
part is available for other programs to use with any spare capacity that the 
processor has.

After giving a print command, do you immediately regain use of photoshop?
This is not a facetious question---I am really curious to find out what is
going on. I am beginning to think that I have a turkey machine here.

Chris: I wouldn't do this for just anyone, but I just started printing a 43
MB cmyk file on my 220o from ps and immediately opened another file about
that size and set about editing it with reckless abandon, while listening to
some Brahms on the intenet, while sipping some cappucino, but that's normal
behaviour down here in LA (lower Arkansas). Just like the broad in Blazing
Saddles said, " ...  oooooooh it's true!, It's true!"

  I must seem like a jerk about this, but to reiterate, after sending a
print
  command, do you regain quick access to photoshop? Just to be clear, my
  computer is immediately available for other, non-Photoshop tasks, but not
  PS.



  If anyone else is out there on a Mac, please let me know what your
  experience is: how long does your  OS 10.3X Mac take to spool a file after
  hitting the print command?

  Thanks,

  Chris

    There is a little utility that come with the ASUS board that  you can
pop
    up. I've not had any print lag problems even on the slower machine ...
so
  I
    can't accurately comment on that

      Given that an image file resides entirely in Ram, what determines the
    length
      of time required to send it to the printer-is it processor, or disk
  speed,
      or what? When I hit the print button, I seem to sit and wait a long
time
    for
      the image to spool out before I have PS back.



      How do you measure processor temp?

      Bob
      I considered the raid setup, but went with the scuzzys because they
were
      cheap and fast and I could have one dedicated 15,000 rpm drive for a
PS
    and
      Illustrator scratch disk. Also Henry, my hardware genius friend who
  built
      the machine is a scuzzy afficianado so I gotta go with his opinion.
This
    box
      will take five drives. This continues to be an interesting thread.
This
    box,
      by the way has an intake venturi directed at the processor and it is
    running
      from 98 degrees f to about 125-120 when I really sock some bad PS
  filters
    to
      it. This thread continues to be interesting and educational, we should
    send
      our friend in Israel a thank you note for kicking it off. And yes, I
  don't
      want to send my wife into coronary occlusion with the price. I have a
      downtown office and an office at home and spend 90% of my work time at
    home
      listening to WCPE on the internet while I work. The board has a
helluva
      sound card and with all the resources, the machine still has with a
  little
      Bach and Vivaldi running in the background.  We built the machine in
our
      dining room and I forbade anyone but Henry and myself to lay hands on
      anything in the room. I keep promising to clean it up. It still looks
      something like Berlin in late 1945

        Joe,

        Not sure about the need for SCSI these days. A pair of 10,000 rpm WD
      Raptors
        (35 GB) running in a Raid0 config, which is standard on most
high-end
        motherboards these days, are quite nippy.

        I have my system on this Raid0 array, and another pair of 250GB WD
    drives
        for data and backups. Each of these has a small 10GB partition onto
    which
      I
        put the windows pagefile on one and the PS scratch disk on the
other.
  At
        least I did; I now have the scratch file in a separate partition on
  the
        Raid0 system drive. As long as the pagefile is on another drive,
this
  is
        faster, I think. I put the printer's spoolfiles on the unused 10GB
      partition
        now.

        Lots of cases will take four hard drives; you just need to make sure
  you
        have adequate cooling. Coolermaster cases have two fans blowing
  directly
        over the drives.

        I gave up adding up the cost of my latest PC; it was frightening my
    wife!

        I haven't put the final pencil to it yet. My guess is over $2500 and
    under
        $3000. If you were to get a name machine with all those goodies it
  would
      be
        substantially higher. My strategy now is to stick with this box and
    every
        two to three years upgrade guts as needed (or desired) to take
  advantage
      of
        new technology advances which might be beneficial.

  Chris,

  Not sure that your image will reside entirely in RAM. Don't forget that
the
  PS scratch file is PS's virtual memory; I think you will find that it
swaps
  stuff in and out of the scratch disk all the time, just as Windows does
with
  its pagefile.

  When you click on print, Photoshop has to convert the image file from your
  working space to the printer space (or send it to the printer driver to do
  that). Then the printer driver has to upsample the image to the ppi that
it
  works with internally, and then turn it into the CMYK info for printing
dots
  of the requisite colors. When that is all done, the resulting file is sent
  (spooled) to the location specified in the Registry (on your system disk
if
  you haven't changed it). Then you get back PS for further work. So I guess
  that it is largely processor and RAM dependant, unless you have very slow
  hard disks, or your pagefile, scratch file, and printerspool file are all
on
  the same hard disk (when the heads will be whizzing back and forth between
  these). Put at least some of these on separate disks and they can all be
  doing different things at more or less the same time, thus speeding things
  up a lot.

  You must have 2GB of RAM for maximum speed; more is not a lot of use since
  PS can only handle 2GB. Any more is only available to other programs or
  windows. And fast RAM is obviously better than slow RAM. A Processor/RAM
  combination that is Dual Channel is faster than ordinary single channel. I
  have a 2.8 P4 processor which handles 2 GB of PC3200 DDR memory in dual
  channel mode. That gives me back PS in pretty quick time; not instant, but
  no hanging about. The 2.8 Northwood P4 is probably best buy at the moment
in
  terms of cost/speed.

  I have MSI and Abit motherboards and both these have utilities on their
  installation CDs that display processor temp, case temp, fan speeds,
  voltages, etc, with warning limits for all of these, so that if a fan
fails,
  or a processor goes over temp, you get a warning, and in extreme cases it
  will turn off the computer to prevent cooking the processor.

  Hope this helps,

  Bob Frost.

  Given that an image file resides entirely in Ram, what determines the
length
  of time required to send it to the printer-is it processor, or disk speed,
  or what? When I hit the print button, I seem to sit and wait a long time
for
  the image to spool out before I have PS back.

  How do you measure processor temp?

RE: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

2004-08-17 by Roger L Sopher

Hi Chris,

I have two Macs, one is an old beige g3 with a g4 processor transplant and
768 mb dram. On a typical grey scale 8X10 it takes a couple of minutes
before it starts to print. I also have a dual processor G4 (867mhz) with 2
gigs of dram and it prints in about 10 seconds, if not a bit less The beige
mac is running Jaguar and the dual is running Panther.

  I must seem like a jerk about this, but to reiterate, after sending a
print
  command, do you regain quick access to photoshop? Just to be clear, my
  computer is immediately available for other, non-Photoshop tasks, but not
  PS.



  If anyone else is out there on a Mac, please let me know what your
  experience is: how long does your  OS 10.3X Mac take to spool a file after
  hitting the print command?

  Thanks,

  Chris

      Bob
      I considered the raid setup, but went with the scuzzys because they
were
      cheap and fast and I could have one dedicated 15,000 rpm drive for a
PS
    and
      Illustrator scratch disk. Also Henry, my hardware genius friend who
  built
      the machine is a scuzzy afficianado so I gotta go with his opinion.
This
    box
      will take five drives. This continues to be an interesting thread.
This
    box,
      by the way has an intake venturi directed at the processor and it is
    running
      from 98 degrees f to about 125-120 when I really sock some bad PS
  filters
    to
      it. This thread continues to be interesting and educational, we should
    send
      our friend in Israel a thank you note for kicking it off. And yes, I
  don't
      want to send my wife into coronary occlusion with the price. I have a
      downtown office and an office at home and spend 90% of my work time at
    home
      listening to WCPE on the internet while I work. The board has a
helluva
      sound card and with all the resources, the machine still has with a
  little
      Bach and Vivaldi running in the background.  We built the machine in
our
      dining room and I forbade anyone but Henry and myself to lay hands on
      anything in the room. I keep promising to clean it up. It still looks
      something like Berlin in late 1945

        Joe,

        Not sure about the need for SCSI these days. A pair of 10,000 rpm WD
      Raptors
        (35 GB) running in a Raid0 config, which is standard on most
high-end
        motherboards these days, are quite nippy.

        I have my system on this Raid0 array, and another pair of 250GB WD
    drives
        for data and backups. Each of these has a small 10GB partition onto
    which
      I
        put the windows pagefile on one and the PS scratch disk on the
other.
  At
        least I did; I now have the scratch file in a separate partition on
  the
        Raid0 system drive. As long as the pagefile is on another drive,
this
  is
        faster, I think. I put the printer's spoolfiles on the unused 10GB
      partition
        now.

        Lots of cases will take four hard drives; you just need to make sure
  you
        have adequate cooling. Coolermaster cases have two fans blowing
  directly
        over the drives.

        I gave up adding up the cost of my latest PC; it was frightening my
    wife!

        I haven't put the final pencil to it yet. My guess is over $2500 and
    under
        $3000. If you were to get a name machine with all those goodies it
  would
      be
        substantially higher. My strategy now is to stick with this box and
    every
        two to three years upgrade guts as needed (or desired) to take
  advantage
      of
        new technology advances which might be beneficial.

RE: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

2004-08-18 by Sam McCandless

From a couple of minutes under Jaguar to less than ten seconds under 
Panther (w/o the G5 processor yet).

Maybe I'll quit whining about Apple's intense development of its 
operating system.

Or should I switch to Windows to further postpone having a UNIX OS 
and 64-bit processors?

Roger-

I think I may have to tweak my system. I have a gig of ram and dual
processors, but I get tired of that spinning whirligig. Bob Frost had some
good suggestions that I'm going to try.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

I have two Macs, one is an old beige g3 with a g4 processor transplant and
768 mb dram. On a typical grey scale 8X10 it takes a couple of minutes
before it starts to print. I also have a dual processor G4 (867mhz) with 2
gigs of dram and it prints in about 10 seconds, if not a bit less The beige
mac is running Jaguar and the dual is running Panther.

  I must seem like a jerk about this, but to reiterate, after sending a
print
  command, do you regain quick access to photoshop? Just to be clear, my
  computer is immediately available for other, non-Photoshop tasks, but not
  PS.



  If anyone else is out there on a Mac, please let me know what your
  experience is: how long does your  OS 10.3X Mac take to spool a file after
  hitting the print command?

  Thanks,

    After giving a print command, do you immediately regain use of
photoshop?
    This is not a facetious question---I am really curious to find out what
is
    going on. I am beginning to think that I have a turkey machine here.

    There is a little utility that come with the ASUS board that  you can
pop
    up. I've not had any print lag problems even on the slower machine ...
so
  I
    can't accurately comment on that

      Given that an image file resides entirely in Ram, what determines the
    length
      of time required to send it to the printer-is it processor, or disk
  speed,
      or what? When I hit the print button, I seem to sit and wait a long
time
    for
      the image to spool out before I have PS back.



      How do you measure processor temp?

      Bob
      I considered the raid setup, but went with the scuzzys because they
were
      cheap and fast and I could have one dedicated 15,000 rpm drive for a
PS
    and
      Illustrator scratch disk. Also Henry, my hardware genius friend who
  built
      the machine is a scuzzy afficianado so I gotta go with his opinion.
This
    box
      will take five drives. This continues to be an interesting thread.
This
    box,
      by the way has an intake venturi directed at the processor and it is
    running
      from 98 degrees f to about 125-120 when I really sock some bad PS
  filters
    to
      it. This thread continues to be interesting and educational, we should
    send
      our friend in Israel a thank you note for kicking it off. And yes, I
  don't
      want to send my wife into coronary occlusion with the price. I have a
      downtown office and an office at home and spend 90% of my work time at
    home
      listening to WCPE on the internet while I work. The board has a
helluva
      sound card and with all the resources, the machine still has with a
  little
      Bach and Vivaldi running in the background.  We built the machine in
our
      dining room and I forbade anyone but Henry and myself to lay hands on
      anything in the room. I keep promising to clean it up. It still looks
      something like Berlin in late 1945

        Joe,

        Not sure about the need for SCSI these days. A pair of 10,000 rpm WD
      Raptors
        (35 GB) running in a Raid0 config, which is standard on most
high-end
        motherboards these days, are quite nippy.

        I have my system on this Raid0 array, and another pair of 250GB WD
    drives
        for data and backups. Each of these has a small 10GB partition onto
    which
      I
        put the windows pagefile on one and the PS scratch disk on the
other.
  At
        least I did; I now have the scratch file in a separate partition on
  the
        Raid0 system drive. As long as the pagefile is on another drive,
this
  is
        faster, I think. I put the printer's spoolfiles on the unused 10GB
      partition
        now.

        Lots of cases will take four hard drives; you just need to make sure
  you
        have adequate cooling. Coolermaster cases have two fans blowing
  directly
        over the drives.

        I gave up adding up the cost of my latest PC; it was frightening my
    wife!

        I haven't put the final pencil to it yet. My guess is over $2500 and
    under
        $3000. If you were to get a name machine with all those goodies it
  would
      be
        substantially higher. My strategy now is to stick with this box and
    every
        two to three years upgrade guts as needed (or desired) to take
  advantage
      of
        new technology advances which might be beneficial.

RE: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

2004-08-18 by chris

Bob-

 

Thanks for all your suggestions. I will try them all today, and I am sure
that most will have an effect. I think having dual processors and a gig of
ram has lulled me into thinking I can be inattentive with my housekeeping.
Here are a few questions. 

 

Do these issues apply to both Mac and PC? I am currently on a Mac, but after
Joe Dempsey's and your emails I might switch soon to PC. 

 

My scratch disc is a 7200 external drive. Much of my problem may be that I
have been using external firewire drives for my tif files, so clearly PS has
a lot of slower disc stuff to do. Would it make a lot of difference to get
the image files onto the internal disc to work on it?  

 

PS has much of my 1.2gigs, and these are usually 50 meg files? Why should
the disc matter?

 

or your pagefile, scratch file, and printerspool 

 

Can I assume the printerspool is on the same drive that the app was
installed and should/can it be moved? Where is pagefile?

 

And finally, I looked for the "Northwood P4" but could not find it. Where
did you purchase?

 

Thanks

 

Chris

Chris,

It might be worth your looking at your printers Properties/Advanced 
settings. Here you can tell it whether to spool a file or print direct to 
the printer (slow), and whether to wait until the last page has been spooled

or start printing immediately. You should have spool and print immediately 
checked.

You may be able to do other things on your computer before you can use PS 
again, because PS is only using part of your RAM (whatever you set in 
preferences), so while PS is doing its thing in its part of RAM, the other 
part is available for other programs to use with any spare capacity that the

processor has.

Bob Frost.

Joe-

 

Thanks for your experiment.I have not gotten to my studio yet, but I am
convinced now-I am clearly not drinking enough cappuccino, and I will
immediately switch from Brahms to Bach!

 

Oh, and maybe while I'm at it  I'll order a Northwood P4.

 

Thanks,

Chris: I wouldn't do this for just anyone, but I just started printing a 43
MB cmyk file on my 220o from ps and immediately opened another file about
that size and set about editing it with reckless abandon, while listening to
some Brahms on the intenet, while sipping some cappucino, but that's normal
behaviour down here in LA (lower Arkansas). Just like the broad in Blazing
Saddles said, " ...  oooooooh it's true!, It's true!"

  I must seem like a jerk about this, but to reiterate, after sending a
print
  command, do you regain quick access to photoshop? Just to be clear, my
  computer is immediately available for other, non-Photoshop tasks, but not
  PS.



  If anyone else is out there on a Mac, please let me know what your
  experience is: how long does your  OS 10.3X Mac take to spool a file after
  hitting the print command?

  Thanks,

  Chris

      Given that an image file resides entirely in Ram, what determines the
    length
      of time required to send it to the printer-is it processor, or disk
  speed,
      or what? When I hit the print button, I seem to sit and wait a long
time
    for
      the image to spool out before I have PS back.



      How do you measure processor temp?

      Bob
      I considered the raid setup, but went with the scuzzys because they
were
      cheap and fast and I could have one dedicated 15,000 rpm drive for a
PS
    and
      Illustrator scratch disk. Also Henry, my hardware genius friend who
  built
      the machine is a scuzzy afficianado so I gotta go with his opinion.
This
    box
      will take five drives. This continues to be an interesting thread.
This
    box,
      by the way has an intake venturi directed at the processor and it is
    running
      from 98 degrees f to about 125-120 when I really sock some bad PS
  filters
    to
      it. This thread continues to be interesting and educational, we should
    send
      our friend in Israel a thank you note for kicking it off. And yes, I
  don't
      want to send my wife into coronary occlusion with the price. I have a
      downtown office and an office at home and spend 90% of my work time at
    home
      listening to WCPE on the internet while I work. The board has a
helluva
      sound card and with all the resources, the machine still has with a
  little
      Bach and Vivaldi running in the background.  We built the machine in
our
      dining room and I forbade anyone but Henry and myself to lay hands on
      anything in the room. I keep promising to clean it up. It still looks
      something like Berlin in late 1945

        Joe,

        Not sure about the need for SCSI these days. A pair of 10,000 rpm WD
      Raptors
        (35 GB) running in a Raid0 config, which is standard on most
high-end
        motherboards these days, are quite nippy.

        I have my system on this Raid0 array, and another pair of 250GB WD
    drives
        for data and backups. Each of these has a small 10GB partition onto
    which
      I
        put the windows pagefile on one and the PS scratch disk on the
other.
  At
        least I did; I now have the scratch file in a separate partition on
  the
        Raid0 system drive. As long as the pagefile is on another drive,
this
  is
        faster, I think. I put the printer's spoolfiles on the unused 10GB
      partition
        now.

        Lots of cases will take four hard drives; you just need to make sure
  you
        have adequate cooling. Coolermaster cases have two fans blowing
  directly
        over the drives.

        I gave up adding up the cost of my latest PC; it was frightening my
    wife!

        I haven't put the final pencil to it yet. My guess is over $2500 and
    under
        $3000. If you were to get a name machine with all those goodies it
  would
      be
        substantially higher. My strategy now is to stick with this box and
    every
        two to three years upgrade guts as needed (or desired) to take
  advantage
      of
        new technology advances which might be beneficial.

Can I hire you guys to build me a monster PC? I'll pay handsomely and send
you both a beautiful UT7 B&W print.

  Chris,

  Not sure that your image will reside entirely in RAM. Don't forget that
the
  PS scratch file is PS's virtual memory; I think you will find that it
swaps
  stuff in and out of the scratch disk all the time, just as Windows does
with
  its pagefile.

  When you click on print, Photoshop has to convert the image file from your
  working space to the printer space (or send it to the printer driver to do
  that). Then the printer driver has to upsample the image to the ppi that
it
  works with internally, and then turn it into the CMYK info for printing
dots
  of the requisite colors. When that is all done, the resulting file is sent
  (spooled) to the location specified in the Registry (on your system disk
if
  you haven't changed it). Then you get back PS for further work. So I guess
  that it is largely processor and RAM dependant, unless you have very slow
  hard disks, or your pagefile, scratch file, and printerspool file are all
on
  the same hard disk (when the heads will be whizzing back and forth between
  these). Put at least some of these on separate disks and they can all be
  doing different things at more or less the same time, thus speeding things
  up a lot.

  You must have 2GB of RAM for maximum speed; more is not a lot of use since
  PS can only handle 2GB. Any more is only available to other programs or
  windows. And fast RAM is obviously better than slow RAM. A Processor/RAM
  combination that is Dual Channel is faster than ordinary single channel. I
  have a 2.8 P4 processor which handles 2 GB of PC3200 DDR memory in dual
  channel mode. That gives me back PS in pretty quick time; not instant, but
  no hanging about. The 2.8 Northwood P4 is probably best buy at the moment
in
  terms of cost/speed.

  I have MSI and Abit motherboards and both these have utilities on their
  installation CDs that display processor temp, case temp, fan speeds,
  voltages, etc, with warning limits for all of these, so that if a fan
fails,
  or a processor goes over temp, you get a warning, and in extreme cases it
  will turn off the computer to prevent cooking the processor.

  Hope this helps,

  Bob Frost.

  Given that an image file resides entirely in Ram, what determines the
length
  of time required to send it to the printer-is it processor, or disk speed,
  or what? When I hit the print button, I seem to sit and wait a long time
for
  the image to spool out before I have PS back.

  How do you measure processor temp?

I take it from your comments that you are having some very unusual issues
with your Mac.  OS-X has background printing and so yes you should have full
use of PS once PS has sent the file to the print spooler.  You do not need
to wait for the job to be spooled and printed.

Re: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

2004-08-18 by Steve Kale

Chris

Your problems don't seem to be normal Mac behaviour.  As a guide, my Mac
takes 7-8 seconds to load Photoshop PS (with Entourage 2004 and other
programmes open).  It takes PS CS about a minute to send a 250MB file to my
2100 print queue.  The time delay decreases exponentially as the files get
smaller.  As soon as the job has been sent, ie the "printing page 1"
dialogue disappears, I can immediately continue editing while the print job
is prepared and ultimately printed.  (I haven't yet set up my PS scratch
disks on this machine as I intend to install another hard drive and use that
rather than the slow 80Gb mobile LaCie that I have.  I suspect this would
speed things further.)

RE: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

Hi Chris,

Just to clarify, the times I quoted you were from clicking print until the
printer starts doing its thing. I suspect file size has a lot to do with it.
My 8 X 10 gray scales generally run from 15 - 30 megs.

  Roger-

  I think I may have to tweak my system. I have a gig of ram and dual
  processors, but I get tired of that spinning whirligig. Bob Frost had some
  good suggestions that I'm going to try.

  Thanks

From a couple of minutes under Jaguar to less than ten seconds under 
Panther (w/o the G5 processor yet).

Maybe I'll quit whining about Apple's intense development of its 
operating system.

Or should I switch to Windows to further postpone having a UNIX OS 
and 64-bit processors?

Chris It's not the OS but rather an issue with your particular machine.

As soon as I get to the studio, I will implement Bob's suggestions.
Hopefully, it will make a difference. Otherwise, I'm buying a PC.

I take it from your comments that you are having some very unusual issues
with your Mac.  OS-X has background printing and so yes you should have full
use of PS once PS has sent the file to the print spooler.  You do not need
to wait for the job to be spooled and printed.

I am going to time this stuff when I get to the studio today. My guess is 30
seconds lag for a 40meg tif.

Thanks,

Chris

Your problems don't seem to be normal Mac behaviour.  As a guide, my Mac
takes 7-8 seconds to load Photoshop PS (with Entourage 2004 and other
programmes open).  It takes PS CS about a minute to send a 250MB file to my
2100 print queue.  The time delay decreases exponentially as the files get
smaller.  As soon as the job has been sent, ie the "printing page 1"
dialogue disappears, I can immediately continue editing while the print job
is prepared and ultimately printed.  (I haven't yet set up my PS scratch
disks on this machine as I intend to install another hard drive and use that
rather than the slow 80Gb mobile LaCie that I have.  I suspect this would
speed things further.)

Re: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

2004-08-18 by Steve Kale

OK.  Bob has made some good suggestions re setting up your scratch disks.
As a rule, if you can, place all your media files on the same disk that you
have nominated as your primary scratch disk and ensure that this is a fast
diak drive that does not hold your OS. I have not read all these posts but I
think you have said you have a dual Mac (so at least 2x1.8).  What do you
have for hard drives?  Single or dual? As I said, I have not yet set up a
scratch disk other than my one HD which also holds my OS and I am still not
getting the performance problems you are having.  Take a look at the RAM you
have allocated to PS.  As I only have 1GB in this new machine at the moment
I have it set to 90% which gives PS 789 MB.  However it has been debated
here and elsewhere before that RAM allocation should be left to the OS and
not individual apps.  My understanding is that OSX controls RAM allocation
between apps and so I am not sure which rules the roost (and that this is a
difference from Windows - I am not sure).  At any rate, I set the % high in
PS settings just to be safe.  If you have 2GB of RAM then a high allocation
will minimise the importance of your scratch disk setup.  It would be a
shame to toss a very capable machine simply because it needs a clean and
tune, rather than being broken.  Good luck

Yes, Macs can simultaneously use two independent profiles for two different monitors.

Re: [Digital BW] Re: Ideal Windows computer spec

Steve,

There has been a lot of discussion on the Photoshop forum about the % of RAM 
that you should set for CS. I tried using high levels (75-90%) but found 
that some plugins would not work since they need some of the memory outside 
CS's share (NeatImage for example), and that other bits of CS seemed to be 
slower. The outcome was that allocating 50% of RAM to CS was probably the 
best compromise and that is what I now use. The only downside I have found 
is that some plugins (Kodak's airbrush) need more memory INSIDE CS's 
allocation. It seems to be swings and roundabouts! I don't use the Kodak 
plugin but I do use NeatImage, so 50% seems to be my best bet. This is for a 
PC; not sure whether Macs do things differently on this score.

  Take a look at the RAM you
have allocated to PS.  As I only have 1GB in this new machine at the moment
I have it set to 90% which gives PS 789 MB.  However it has been debated
here and elsewhere before that RAM allocation should be left to the OS and
not individual apps.  My understanding is that OSX controls RAM allocation
between apps and so I am not sure which rules the roost (and that this is a
difference from Windows - I am not sure).  At any rate, I set the % high in
PS settings just to be safe.  If you have 2GB of RAM then a high allocation
will minimise the importance of your scratch disk setup.

Thanks for the tip.  I think the situation for Macs is even less understood
because of OS-X's dynamic RAM management.  I need to go back to the PS forum
and get an update as I think of adding more RAM on this new machine.  (I
bought it with just 1GB because the cost of memory in the UK is such a
rip-off vs the US - I will get my additional memory there).  I was
particularly interested in your comment that PS can only use up to 2GB.
Seems a rather foolish limitation given the new machines can take up to 8GB.

Chris,

I've never had the misfortune to own a Mac, so I can't answer this one. ;) 
In fact, I've never met anyone who does own a Mac, but I don't live in the 
USA which seems to be 'AppleLand'.

This depends a lot on the particular external drive, and how the motherboard 
handles it. I'm not sure you can generalise about it. I use a program called 
Sandra that analyses write/read speeds to drives (among a multitude of other 
things), but you had better find a similar program for Macs and simply do a 
test of the speed of your external drive against the speed of your internal 
drives. Internal drives are usually faster, but not always it seems.

P4 processors are given various letters and codenames. The latest is P4E - 
Prescott. The previous versions are P4C - Northwood. Don't ask me what 
happened to P4D's. Prescott's are theoretically faster, but run much hotter, 
and some motherboards can't handle them.

We'd probably better drop this thread as it is OT and sure to annoy a lot of 
Mac users.

Steve-

I am not sure what a dual hard drive is. I use a Porsche design silver
250Gig LaCie for secondary drive. I am pretty sure that it is a 7200rpm fast
access, but clearly won't stand up to the 10-15K rpm discs that have been
discussed here.

Do I understand that the primary disc should NOT be the one that holds the
PS APP?

OK. Bob has made some good suggestions re setting up your scratch disks.
As a rule, if you can, place all your media files on the same disk that you
have nominated as your primary scratch disk and ensure that this is a fast
diak drive that does not hold your OS. I have not read all these posts but I
think you have said you have a dual Mac (so at least 2x1.8). What do you
have for hard drives? Single or dual? As I said, I have not yet set up a
scratch disk other than my one HD which also holds my OS and I am still not
getting the performance problems you are having. Take a look at the RAM you

The current G5s allow you to have two hard drives installed within them
(each at various sizes, 7200rpm).  RAID technology is used to manage the
two.  I suspect you only have one hard drive installed.  (Go to your System
Profiler via About this Mac and check if you are unsure.) Your LaCie sounds
perfectly fine as an external HD/scratch disk (I assume it is firewire).
You should make this your primary scratch disk in PS and keep your PS
documents on this.  OS-X and in all probability unless you did something
funky at the time of install will be on your G5 internal HD.  This should be
your secondary scratch disk (assuming you have no others you want to use ie
always the last one).  A dual G5 with 2GB of RAM and a 7200rpm Lacie
(assuming it has a decent amount of room available) as a scratch disk is a
pretty powerful and enviable setup.  You should not be having any problems
with this - even if editing and rendering video.

I agree with Bob that this thread is off-topic and probably should be drawn
to a close.  I am sure Bob is available off-list should you want to pursue
the new PC route.  The Adobe PS and Mac discussions will be able to provide
you with a lot higher level of technical help with your Mac should you
choose to sort it out first.

Yes, lets get back to B&W printing.

I assume you're in the UK? Everytime I walk through Heathrow I think that
Brits are further along on all this stuff than us here in the US.

Thanks for all the help.

Re: dual-display color management (was RE: [Digital BW] Ideal Windows computer spec)

Thanks to Scott Graham for settling this dual-display question.

It seems to me that a dual-display Mac system is either superior or 
appreciably less expensive as a result; again, especially for anyone 
who needs/wants a notebook, as I do, partly as a traveling companion 
for a digital camera.

Re: dual-display color management (was RE: [Digital BW] Ideal Windows computer spec)

2004-08-19 by Scott Graham

The dual profile capability would certainly be helpful in some cases, but in mine I just use 
the second monitor for palettes so it doesn't matter much.  It does make the swatches 
"correct", but I hardly use them anyway.

So it depends on your use.  With a notebook, you could make the alternate display "right", 
leaving the notebook for palettes, and then when disconnected from the big display just 
choose the monitor profile for the notebook screen again.

Incidentally, in my limited efforts I did not get the two displays to look identical even when 
they were each using their calibrated profiles.  Maybe because the second display is quite 
old?

That seems plausible to me, Scott, partly because if it's quite a bit 
older, then for that reason alone there would be differences between 
the two. And I guess an age disparity has been typical due to the 
"palette display" being a retired "image display".

But I also think Paul was right in saying that profiling is supposed 
to iron out differences. How we might help it do so in selecting 
hardware and software seems to me to be an interesting question. 
Maybe especially in the notebook-based dual-display models I've been 
trying to explore with a view to updating and upgrading to such a 
model.

I'd be glad for any help with the exploration of notebook-based 
dual-display workstations - Windows, Mac, or hybrid - working at the 
juncture between cameras and printers.
