Thanks Dave, I’ll look into it a bit more (multi processing), and still working with the same formats & resolutions. Final Renders and all other AE operations are MUCH faster wih the new machine, it just seems the RAM cache fills up seemingly too quickly…
Only major change was the purchasing of nucleo pro 2, but even when I try and spec preview with that it seems to only cache a smaller number of frames than I would expect..
I disabled Nucleo Pro 2 and previews still seemed to be shorter than expected. (around 7 seconds at full sd PAL widescreen res)
Would it be wise at all to increase the max Ram cache from 60%?
