Comments on: 12 GB For the RenderFarm https:/2009/08/12-gb-for-the-renderfarm/ Developer resources for the X-Plane flight simulator Tue, 01 Feb 2011 19:01:12 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.1 By: Andras Fabian https:/2009/08/12-gb-for-the-renderfarm/#comment-619 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:42:48 +0000 http://www.x-plane.com/dev_blog/?p=184#comment-619 One idea: did you consider putting in a solid state disk (SSD) for swap space? Like the bit more priecy but from some benchmarks (well I researched them from data base perspective lately) very good Intel X25 series SSDs (you can get for example 64Gbyte models)? They could drastically ease the pain of swapping as their speed isn
not bad and especially read/write latency is almost non existent. … just an idea to make renderfarm runs more resistant to high RAM usage problems.

Now I'm trying to imagine a case where someone would actually want to run XP and PS at once…
