Dale, Your resource server idea? It's a good one, but that's exactly what PoseNet does, and that may be the path I take! I am putting aside your fragmentation warning, as 1) this will be so purpose-built it will not fragment easily; 2) I will institute regular defrag. Now, with that aside, is it still a good idea to put the OS and the Swapfile on different drives, because they optimally would like to occur simultaneously? And where would you place a: Poser.exe b: Runtime Folder c: pz3 d: output file for rendered frames. Thanks for your dangerous-sounding warning on SATA as boot drive! ::::: Opera :::::
