Topic: where to install VDJ

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

My new lappy should b here soon, my g53sx.
12 gig ram, its got two 750 gig 7200 rpm HD's, but getting a 120gig SSD to put o/s in it, in which hard drive to install VDJ is best ...

Maybe this is the obvious answer, but it should be installed on the same drive as the OS.

thanks, i wasnt sure. this lappy is purely use for VDJ
 
Why do you need 12gb RAM if the laptop is exclusively for VDJ?

I would have thought 4gb would be enough, 8gb would be extreme .......

And why the SSD, for playing music and videos a 7200RPM HDD does the job just fine!

at the moment it has 750 at 5400 rpm, so i should stick to what i have now. anyways i like it to be super fast. i have it here in front of me and downloading VDJ on to it. so 12 gig is tooooo much, shall i take out 4 gigot 8?
 
No problem having the 12gb, just wondered why you would spend the extra to put that in when it's not really needed for the purpose of the machine.

it came like that with the system, its a gaming machine. but now iv added my photography software, dvd producing sofware so im just gonna leave the ram now. asus g53sx
 
So much for being purely for VDJ then :-)

Seriously though, I would consider making it dual boot. Leave one side for purely DJing - no additional software such as AV, and have another partition for general use.

My current gig lappy (Samsung) has 2x1Tb drives in it. So I have a boot partition on each drive as outlined above and have another partition on each drive for media. One has audio, the other video and karaoke.

This way all my media is accessible from both sides...

Cheers,

yeah was thinking to do that but ill have my other asus purely for personal use and keep the g53 for dj and some gaming.

When i download vdj onto my laptop it downloads with all the regular stuff and you follow all the steps to install it and then gets to the click to finnish then launch button!!! after that it sometimes brings vdj up to use but when you click off it all together it will dissapear and the program hasnt been installed at all and no short cut either, and also sometimes when you unpack and run the folders after it will say that it hasnt been installed with the right settings!
