DOH! there was another folder in the folder I was copying that holds ALL my porn pics (several thousand) so THAT is why it was taking so long. I wish I had noticed that BEFORE I started the copy process. lol, oh well.
as for my drive speeds, I was copying from a 5400 rpm WD to a 7200 rpm Maxtor.
but, I do still want to know the answer to the question:
does EVERYTHING a comp does go through the ram?
does copying from HD to HD involve ram? if so, is there a way to bypass and transfer directly?
