I recently did that same upgrade to my oldest workstation that now is my home theater pc / server, and it went from over a 3 minute cold startup to under 40 seconds

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

    Hi all,

        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

        Recently I've been thinking of using the 120GB SSD for a boot drive instead of my cache drive. I figure once everything is installed 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 another SSD but since this system is approaching 4 years old I would prefer not to throw more money at it. It would be nice to squeeze another year out of it.

            -Rob
