Pll's and Memory
At first I had only one HDD with 250 GB. It did not take long to realize that this was inadequate. I bought another two 250 GB HDD's. This helped and I switched fully to the Mac (I had been using my PC parallel to my Mac). In the meantime time I got more ram and I was away working (now 9 GB of ram).
In another thread I described my problems with kerning in my DTP work in Pll's. I had small differences to a stand alone win XP stations. I got another HDD 750 GB with 32 MB cahce. This HDD is a rocket and works fantastic. I installed boot camp there but never really used it and then unistalled boot camp.
Now I work on a mac 2x2,66 GHZ and as mentionened the 750 GB Hdd and 1,5 TB raid. I save most data on NAS drives.
The system works very good and is very reliable in professional work. I reserve 2GB for win XP. I run handbrake parallel to Pll's. I have multiple windows open in both win and mac. I have a library of 30.000 images in aperture which I work with every day. I also use Photoshop CS3. All these work fine together. I was never able to max out the ram so I think I am on a safe side here.
Lately and especailly after switching to Leopard the win tools in Pll's always get stuck when closing down windows. I always close win XP down and then quit Pll's.
I did not install Pll's anew. I just ported the user data and programmes to the new installation of Leopard. Sometimes my c drive from win XP does get mounted in OSX Leo.
I am waiting for the new release of Pll's wchich will fully support Leopard. I do not work with Beta releases.
