Timothy,
It lools like maybe the IDE drives don't perform as well as SCSI. Martin Foster
did a test with this situation, here is part of his message.
>>I have some rendering machines which have the same RAM and CPU, but some have
just a standard 500mb IDE drive, others have 2.1gb fast and wide Seagate
Barracuda's with an Adaptec 2940 wide controller. Yet another machine had 192mb
RAM and had no swap. Here are some frame times:
IDE drive, 128Mb RAM, 80Mb swap file 1 hr 15 mins
Scsi F/Wide, 128Mb RAM, 80Mb swap file 15 mins
Scsi F/Wide, 196Mb RAM, no swap file 7 mins<<
It will interesting to see what your new tests come up with.
