Well I have the new Mac Pro and she's a beauty!
Some problems with the 30 inch display and an odd random pixelation event occuring where it looks like a "show hot spots" in a raw convertor. I've taken screen grabs but it's not the video card it's on the display as the anomaly doesn't show up iin the screen grabs, so I took some pictures of it and my store is currentlyy shoowing them to apple to figure out what the heck it is. Either way they'll either swap out the video card /and or the diplay so I'm not concerned. It oddly goes away if I make any sort of channge in the dsiplay settings. A minor hiccup in this new Mac world I've entered.
here's my actual question. (sorry new computer had to share!)
I'd like to add a scratch disk for PS CS3 and eventually 3. I'm not sure if lightroom uses a scratch disk but it would be for that as well. How large should the scratch disk be? I can get an 80 gig Seagate quite inexpensively and I'm wondering if that is large enough?
I'm adding two other drives (Seagate 320 or 400) for archive storage and files in progresss to keep all the photo work off the main hard drive. I will most likely ghost the Main OS drive as well.
Thanks in advance for your input..it's always appreciated.
