Remember when your mom said - leave well enough alone -
yeah -well I didn't and not sure what I did to mess myself up.
(OK I know - but how do I get back - and even get my system running best)
Nice homebuilt system
i7
100 GB SSD
1tb Sata D drive
8GB (16GB)
windows 7 64 bit
I have windows on the OCZ SSD drive - but all the data my docs my pix etc) moved over to D Sata drive)
A few weeks ago I doubled my memory from 8gb to 16gb (Vegas alone was OK most of the time - though did want to get Boris and thought I could use more - also run VMs so need mem for that)
Everything was fine after the upgrade ...
In general I had 40 GB free on the SSD
When I did a major Render - I had the final file (mgp2 DVD NTSC template) go the the C drive - and when done moved it over ...
I ran into trouble when I finished a very large video -
it was so large that at the default template of NTSC DVD is was making a file of larger than 4.2 GB so I could not get it onto a single disk ...
At approx the same time I noticed that the free space on my SSD was gong down ..
(and when I rendered to the C even after removing the file my space left was still low)
Like a true idiot - I started changing multiple things ...
Ran some utility (that I thought was made by OCZ but maybe just recommended by them) on my SSD (SSD Tweaker) - not sure what it did - but it did stuff.
I avoided defrag on my SSD even though I know it is 10% fragged.
I decided - heck I have some much Ram why do I need to use so much virtual memory (on my C: drive) - and chaged it from Let Windows manage it (it used 24 GB)) To I will manage it minimum of 512mb up to max 24GB - but it never left 512mb (when I switch back to Auto it goes to 16GB)
I also then tried various template changes in Vegas that I hope I just reverse by using the "Standard" one - of lower KBPS to get the 1:30move to fit nicely on a DVD ...
Well - my videos were rendered looked really bad (and lets be honest using 4000 KBPS instead of 6000 should not do so bad with a video that is mainly old home movies and pictures ..
my machine now stutters both in Vegas and other things (when I try to sort a folder by date - it takes hours ... actually loops.
any idea how I can get back to Kansas -
and yes I know I am discussing different items that are not related ..
Also - how do I
Take care of my SSD to keep my system fast
Take care of Virtual Memory ....
etc.
Thanks
Allen
