Hi,

Is the RAM configured as cache, or an elastic buffer with dynamic pointer(s)?

I use a lot of .WAV files which certainly exceed the buffer size.

I have noticed that if I am listening to a selection and change to another selection it does cause a short delay. The same happens with some long selections. There is always the readahead after the spin-up of the drive. I realize that most of this time is disk spin-up and I will try to temporarilly disable spin-down to verify it.

My questions are:

1) With additional RAM, if I change selections, will it flush the cache, or is it elastic and re-point to a new index and start reading there?

2) Will more RAM worsen the delay with a deeper buffer and cache flush?

3) Will more RAM reduce the readahead delay (read the complete music file) or spend more time filling the buffer?

4) Does the laptop disk drive cache come into play or is it a hinderance with the Empeg?

Thanks,

Ross
