Leopard Scratch Disk
I am browsing Google for the answer but I figured I would throw it out here in addition.
Can you point OSX to a specific drive to use for its scratch disk? In XP I know you could setup which drives it uses for scratch and how much memory on these drives it could fill.

I'm pretty sure Leopard itself doesn't have this core functionality though certain apps like Photoshop and Final Cut have support built in.

Yeah
Yeah I figured that either there was some kind of file I could edit to manual do that kinda thing. Figured id ask.
I had an XP rig for video editing and had it set up as follows. 74GB Raptor Drive for OS and Apps 80GB for Windows XP Scratch Disk 160GB RAID 0 for Video Scratch Disk I had the 80GB drive laying around and when I set it up for XP's scratch there was a slight performance gain in benchmarks. It was barely noticeable when running multiple apps while processing video.

Thanks
yeah It does look a bit in depth. I would have liked it if there were only 3 threads.
1. How do I move swap? 2. Here is how you move swap. 3. Thank You But those kinda answers come seldom. I will however give it a try sometime in the near future. 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean. Free credits ($100) for InfMac readers.
