not at all....it has occurred to me lately that an optimal setup might...and only might...be some small stupendously fast drives on board, one for the OS, one for the swap file, one for the poser exe, one for the runtime folder, and then the pz3 on the raid-0 array. Now that's an exaggeration, but I am with you on the idea. I even floated the idea of RAM drives, but others told me that was an idea whose time has passed. In general, I find it amazing that some sort of hardware solution to house the OS and/or swap file on a 8 Gig no moving parts drive has not emerged. ::::: Opera :::::
