A quick computer/Vegas optimization guide ??.

I have been using Vegas exclusively since its inception.
Praying that the makers of soundforge would make a multitracker. Voila !! the day finally came.
Over the years of building, upgrading, optimizing and scratching my head I have developed piles of notes.

I have searched and looked for a all-in-one vegas/video optimizing guide.
Yes I’ve seen the Videoguys windows setup guide and others but to collectively pool our Vegas minds and make one directed towards Vegas and their users.
Granted I haven’t seen the DVD’s produced by these fine moderaters and wouldnt want to undermine their efforts.
But more of a guide to get on the level.
For instance….
-optimizing windows for large data transfer.
-Drive formatting options pro’s, cons
-Handling background resources and startup progs
-Best setup for different levels of computers. Win98,ME,XP
-Video card needs ..or not (16 bit color or 32 etc..
-Ram allocation

Then onto Vegas hints and increased performance tricks.
-separate OS drive and why (where default folders should reside)
-render to different drive, why.
-customizing toolbar, layout smartly
-Disk management tips
-organizing your directory to make “working” sense
-creating organizational skills for media
-default settings that should change based on what version of Vegas you have.
-Default render/pre-ren/audio record folders and why.
-certain levels of vegas having bad recording sync issues when using classic wave driver.
As well as general common work arounds

It shall not be discriminatory to age/power of any given machine.only the quiks and tips of the different levels

To pool minds and have a link to a common resource.
Much like Edwards newsletter site yet more printable and reference-able .
Any thoughts ??
or does this exist somewhere in perfection.

I think that I might be up to the challenge.
To keep it simple at first with a basic groundwork goal.
Start thinking one step at a time,
Your team (although very busy) I’m sure would be invaluable with occasional input.

Start with..
-10 most important hardware considerations if building one.
-10 most pertinent/important windows settings.
-10 most valuable adjustments in vegas for V6 (Not 3rd party software)

Then add ” how to’s ” as well as extend the list then place them in order of pertinance.
I would be willing to start a email acct to have info sent to.
Set a goal of 1 month to have a reasonable setup guide.

I set forth this question to all that have a list of their own.

If you were given a machine from scratch with Vegas 5 and could only do…
5 hardware choices
5 windows optimizations
5 vegas settings.
…what would you do to get it to behave for you.
