Thanks for confirming some points there Zoltan.
So it looks like an Actinic-v9-proof system should have:
Fast CPU with good cache level and high FSB
Lots of memory, in my experience, at least 2gb
Fast hard disk speeds with high read/write speeds (read reviews, not all 300mbps sata disks run at the specified speed
), fast spindle speed, seek time and a good sized buffer.
For me it's the imports/exports that take a very long time - I suppose Zoltan's answer has answered why it is near impossible to do a snapshot to a usb flash drive.
If and when I get some free time, I might actually consider putting one of our spare backup drives which is actually very quick into a machine and seeing how it improves the import/export. At the moment a backup is taking upwards of half an hour. I'd hate to think what this would be with an IDE drive
