Program installed and Files

should I have my files that im editing, and then hte installed program on the same drive?

currently i have adobe preimere pro 1.5 on c, files (both rendered and the source files) on f:

does this matter?

i remember editing a lord of the rings video, not via avs, and the files read better on my c than my f, and f is actually a sata drive vs c being a ide...

just wondering..

You don't need to. I tend to have my media on a separate drive usually, so there's no problem.

alright, i wonder why it's not reading faster than ; /, maybe becuase i dont have raid set up?

ya tried that too, who knows, i also have a problem with FRAPS laggin, but thats on both hard drives, not sure but i think c: lagged less ; / but still horrible to notice, 40-60fps down to 10-20

Shouldn't make a difference. Not the controllers are the bottleneck, the hard drives are. UDMA 133 still provides double the bandwith than usual harddisks deliver. Make sure both run in DMA mode.

Sounds like you have not enough computing power to save in the codec that you have selected. Save to HuffYUV, or if you have enough HD space to uncompressed RGB. Reduce the resolution if it still lags. And make sure the drive to which you save isn't the same where you have installed the game

isnt sata faster than ide though?

i should have enough computing power...AMD athlon 64 3200+ and ppl with lower cpu's than that can run it. fraps saves only in uncompressed avi

, ya i got the game on c, and save the files to f

In theory, yes.

On paper, the specs for SATA-150 (Serial ATA 150MB/s) are higher and should be faster than (P)ATA-100 (Parallel ATA 100MB/s, aka. IDE), but current hard drives cannot get data off the platters fast enough to saturate even the older ATA-100 bus , let alone ATA-133. Even the newest SATA spec, SATA-300, is overkill at the moment. Although there are other technologies and techniques utilized by SATA that can improve data transfer rates in SATA drives compared to PATA.

So real-world, not much, if at all.
