Hi D.

I’m just curious: Does a Dell count as a finicky motherboard?

Or, not so much?

OK, where is your pre-rendered files folder? Do you keep it on C:? Or on E:?

>>I use File | Save and select a project folder on E: as my destination. I capture to E: also. That’s my RAID 0 drive for video projects. You should never be working on your C: drive. Especially having your footage on C: because access to it is contending with the Windows swap file which is also on C: by default. It is a good practice to use a separate drive for video.

OK, what is your D:, then?

>>There are no good reasons that I can think of to not have a swap file unless you are doing some time critical specialized work where you know you have enough memory and don’t have a nanosecond to swap.

So, like, if you are working on a Z800 with 192GB of RAM, then minimize your swap file. But if “all you’ve got is 8GB” (that sounds really funny to my ear), then you still want a swap file?

But if 6GB is good, then why not 8? Or 12? Considering that C: is not really all that full….

>>I do daily backups of C: only. My projects are on an E: drive and I back them up as needed at the end of each edit sessions.

How does one set projects to E:?

>>My Vista 64 system has 8 GB of RAM and a 6 GB swap file. It is very easy to eat up memory and having swap space allows the OS to move less important tasks to secondary storage.

OK.

However, what is the initial size of your swap file?

Is the initial size set at 6GB? Or does one set the initial figure lower (like 500 MB)?

The only reason I ask is that I have always been taught to pack as much RAM as one can in one’s machine, and then to minimize the paging file, in order to improve performance. But if the machine eats all of that memory, and then asks for more….

Um, some obvious questions, just to get some more information:

You are rendering it out as what format?

Does the rendered project look fine in Media Player?

What are your project settings?
