I now have a seperate drive that I thought I would put the scratch disk on, but read that I should not have it on the same drive as the OS and Page File. I want the page file on the slave drive, so should I keep the scratch on the main drive or go ahead and put in on the drive with the page file? I only have 448MB RAM, so I hit the page file often. Also, with that little amount of ram, how much should I let Photoshop have? I read 50%-75%. Just wondering what works good for others. Bonus question...hehe. I have tons of styles loaded I like handy for inspiration, but it's taking PS 5 minutes to load. Any way to improve this or not? Thanks!
