Hey just for the record, when you expand the sequencer memory you have  
less disc swaps! This is because you use the seq memory to hold the  
data your making the copy of. Last year I started to mess with one of  
my VFXSDs memory by expanding it past the factory update to 4 megs. I  
ran into issues but I am still working on it.
