    I was begining to get bothered about previewing my comps and I decided to play around with the memory and cache preference settings. Allocating cache to physical memory was not a problem but I didnt not see any obvious difference when previewing. I’d like to know what I am doing wrong and most importantly is this process really effective.

    What I think this process does is, while trying to render for a RAM preview, it renders the required frames unto the allocated physical hard drive on my computer so that when I playback that area again, it will take less time since it will be playing back the cached files directly from my hard drive. But unfortunately for me, it’s taking about the same time it takes to preview to RAM and the allocated drive is filling up with cached files. Whats the difference?

    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.

    Please check your preference page to look for anything related to disk cache…I mean something like 2000 MB for disk caching…
