Subject: [AE] Who uses global performance cache in AE and best way to set t= his up?

=A0 =A0 Hi all,

=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 I've got a fairly simple set up in my office for After = Effects CC work:

Intel 980x CPU
24GB Ram
Geforce GTX 580
3TB system drive (2 partitions, one for Win 7 64 and 1 for media)
120GB SSD

=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 Recently I've been thinking of using the 120GB SSD for = a boot drive instead of my cache drive. I figure once everything is install= ed on it the speed I would gain from opening software and system operation = would offset the loss of space for the cache or elimination of it entirely.= Has anyone had any experience with this? Of course I could just buy anothe= r SSD but since this system is approaching 4 years old I would prefer not t= o throw more money at it. It would be nice to squeeze another year out of i= t.

=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 -Rob
