Sorry if this has already been covered, I tried a search on several key words and came up with zilch -
I'm running Vegas 7d/CDA on a Sony Vaio desktop, 3.6 gHz P4, 1 gig ram, 250 gig 7200RPM Sata drive for boot/programs - I've added a 76 gig 10k rpm Raptor internally, and two Maxtor 7200rpm external USB2 drives, one for storage and one for backups (the storage drive goes with me for use with laptop for away-from-home editing/capture)
I have another gig of ram to add, and will do that before I start rendering any projects. I'm using two 19" LCD's and firewire preview (Canopus TwinPact100) thru a Sony broadcast trinitron and have disabled scopes, so that part's probably as good as can be. (or is it?)
My main question - for fastest render times, which drive (raptor or external USB) should I render to?
Also, which (if any) of the various system tweaks will have the biggest effect on rendering OR smooth playback during editing?
TIA for any insights... Steve
