This is all still very fuzzy to me.Seeing how well Photoshop and Illustrator did with a swapfile away from Windows (XP),I was thinking Poser would do just as well.Today I put it to the test.I installed Poser(2 gigs. worth of files)on a seperate 10 gig partition...set the minmax size to 800mb.for that partition.The results..Poser showed no increase in performance at all! The swapfile size for my computer now shows as the combined total for both partitions. I think the two Adobe programs did well,because you assign the swapfile location from within the program itself(an option Poser does not have).Well...It was worth a try!?!?
