    Quad intel 2.66Ghz also does 14 layers with ram disc

    I also get 14 layers with 1GB ram disc on Intel.

    14 layers in 31ms for Quad 2.66Ghz.
    14 layers in 25ms for 8 core 3.Ghz

    kindof what you would expect from cpu speed increase.

    Can we think to create a " snap shoot " of contents in a disk ram and then recall it ?

    Say for every song we need just 2 / 4 giga of contents ...

    how it's possible to load and un load those 4 giga ?

    you will have to check out what the ram disc can do.

    I had someone who was checking out the flash RAM drives with SATA interfaces that started appearing- he ordered one - not sure it turned up yet.

    write an applescript or shell script - to delete files, and copy another batch. control from dmx in cue list. could be done....

    it takes about a minute or so to copy 4Gb - assuming bandwidth from disc of around 50MB/s
