Actually - i can do 16 dv layers on the quad 2.66Ghz with RAMdisk.
And to prove its not just disks.
I composited all 16 layers with transparent black ( nVidia 7300 ) card- and it uses about 10% of graphics.
the fps number are not correct in the captures because capturing screen interferes with playback....
RAM drives with SATA or Ram Disk the space it's not very much at this time , I'm sure in few years we will larf about this . But the issue now is space for one or the other .
Any one out there can tell us how many giga are used in one song or event ?
I know it change from one to infinite , but I'm just curious to see if this Ramz things can be used in a real show or not .
Richard , Cat.app in the ram disk can help some how or not ?

the performance of these will be related to the drive latency- how long it takes to process a disc read -
