yes exactly.

i have two separate 500GB each internal hard drives in my macbook pro. (one took the place of the superdrive)

i have OS/APPS on one.

then i have the other strictly as a scratch.

so lets say i have a folder of images from a photo shoot i did yesterday. i want to work on the files. would there be a performance difference in storing that folder of images on the same disk as the OS/Apps or the same disk that is set to a Scratch disk.

also. would there really be a need for a scratch disk if i upgraded to 8gbs of ram, when using CS5 since it being 64bit can take advantage of more that 3gb of ram. or would it still make a positive performance difference to have a scratch disk.
