    How much RAM added makes a scratch disk redundant?

    RichPate Community Member

      I may be misinformed, but I read that if you have enough RAM memory in your system, a scratch disk is no longer of much use.

       

      If there is truth to this, does anyone have an idea of how much RAM memory is needed to achieve this for strictly photographic composite image work, 40MB files in size with a dozen or so layers when editing? Would 8 GB of RAM do it with a newer 64 bit system that accesses above 4GB of RAM with CS5? Thanks.
