[01:05] Joseph Costa: im just an optimization freak
[01:05] Lucas Brown: kemmon is too
[01:05] Lucas Brown: we were making a clean image
[01:05] Lucas Brown: haha
[01:05] Lucas Brown: and i went to safari
[01:05] Lucas Brown: and he made us start all over
[01:06] Lucas Brown: even though we'd done so much work already
[01:06] Lucas Brown: because we were porting it to other machines
[01:06] Joseph Costa: ah
[01:06] Joseph Costa: im still wondering why a pro/optimization freak is running mac instead of linux on the systems?
[01:07] Lucas Brown: because mac is made per system and it runs the most powerful editing software on the market
[01:07] Joseph Costa: *on the market*
[01:07] Lucas Brown: i garuntee its more powerful than any linux open siource
[01:08] Joseph Costa: lol if you say so
[01:08] Lucas Brown: we dont do much audio work
[01:08] Lucas Brown: we do like 99% video work
[01:08] Lucas Brown: and Final Cut Pro and After Effects are not made on Linux
[01:08] Joseph Costa: they go hand in hand unless your just using pre made sound
[01:08] Lucas Brown: we are
[01:09] Lucas Brown: or were using the audio we recorded
[01:09] Joseph Costa: and your assuming final cut pro and after effects are the most powerful
[01:09] Lucas Brown: show me evidence to the contrary
[01:09] Lucas Brown: i trust kemmon
[01:10] Joseph Costa: im sure you do and its not like its going to change anytime soon
[01:10] Lucas Brown: "one can write data to a RAM disk at more than half a gigabyte per second."
[01:10] Joseph Costa: lol who said that?
[01:10] Lucas Brown: http://boredzo.org/make-ram-disk/
[01:11] Joseph Costa: lol
[01:11] Joseph Costa: notice the *I* can write data at whatever speed
[01:11] Lucas Brown: and why is that
[01:11] Joseph Costa: 2006 means hes using ddr2
[01:11] Joseph Costa: or worse
[01:11] Lucas Brown: my macine uses DDr2
[01:11] Joseph Costa: also depends on the pin type
[01:11] Joseph Costa: and the brand
[01:12] Joseph Costa: *i was basing my statics on windows, ddr3, and a decent ram disk creator
[01:12] Lucas Brown: we could use it as a scratch disk for renders and captures!
[01:14] Joseph Costa: The most important difference between a RAM disk and a hard disk is access speed. The time taken for a hard disk to move its magnetic heads over the spinning disks (much like the arm moving over old vinyl record player) is typically measured in milliseconds (thousandths of a second). Whereas a RAM disk does not have mechanical parts and its access speed is typically measured in nanoseconds (billionths of a second). Access to a RAM disk may be 50 times faster or more than to a hard drive.

[01:15] Joseph Costa: that one is windows only unfortunately
[01:15] Lucas Brown: but using for a render scratch would be QUITE useful
