Resolume Forum

I'm thinking of doubling or quadrupling the RAM on my machine. Will it make any difference in the playback performance of Resolume? I'm looking to get more smoother playback running 3 layers. Right now its a bit choppy.

hey ecin!
how much ramm do u have at the moment?
anyway, for smoother playback it would be better to get faster harddrives or even a RAID, if you want to have smoother playback speed! (btw: fastest hardrives are the WD RAPTOR @ 10.000rpm)

I'm running 512 right now in my laptop with an external 7200 drive. Is there a way to do an external RAID drive? I'm new to RAID.

hello again!

i believe, that your RAMM should be sufficient for resolume.
what other specs has your laptop?
resolution and codec of your clips?

external RAID drives ... pretty good question .... i once read about some geeks, who stripped 4 iPod Shuffles into a RAID, so I guess this most be possible as well.... don't know, if it makes sense though.... maybe u should ask that question on vjforums.com

take care

my lappy's pretty decent, its a dell inspiron 9100 with a p4 3.0, 512ram, ati radeon 9700. i typically output 640 x 480 with mostly flash content. its starts to slowdown when theres 2 layers blended with effects. though it varies.

it is pretty decent indeed. i wish i could afford an inspiron too...
therefore, i am really suprised, that you are experiencing problems, although u are working with flashfiles only.!
what process resolution are you working with?
what resolution are your flashfiles?
i think, the process resolution should match your footage resolution for best performance...
