Re: filmscanners: Scanning and memory limits in Windows



Hi Dana,
            Gee your times seem very slow. I tried loading a 56mb file from
my scratch disk and it took 3.6 seconds. A 169mb file took 17 seconds. This
on a Win 98SE machine with a 1Ghz Athlon and 512mb of PC133 ram and two
7200rpm hard drives. Scratch partition is not on the hard drive which has
PS6. 7200 rpm drives made a significant difference to overall speed.
