hey some advice would help a great deal....
I still am currently an OS9 user...D'OH!...... I *really* am finally getting a G4 ibook, I think a minium one with only a 30 gig harddrive... my question is as follows... (I think I asked a simialr one before , but as thies is getting closer I am wondering more n more!) I have hear the minimum size drive (partition) that OSX can comfortably run on is 10 GB is this true? and if so if I partition the (30 GB) drive roughly in half say 15 GB and almost 15 GB will OSX run smoothly and can I still fit some Apps on there so I can use the other Partition for writing files to? mostly this machine would be used for recording Audio. I plan in the near future on getting a External Firewire drive to also use to dump files ... and of course getting a 1 GB RAM chip in it to max the RAM to 1.25 GB. any other and new info or suggestions would be super cool! thanx bunches!  -- Ian aka Archival Audio Ce message a été modifié par ArchivalAudio - mer. 23 mars 2005, 03:59. -------------------- ~ Archival Audio ~

I never had the chance to work on a powerbook, but I would personnaly recommand you to not partition yr disk, run the OS and the audio apps on it, and buy that external HD to save files on it. That's how I work with my G4 dual 1.25Ghz machine and it works great! I ran my older imac G3 DVse (30Gig HD) like this too and it was fine...as long as nothing else was installed. Also, there's an older topic here where the debate is to partition or not to partition. If I remember well, the arguments not to partition were stronger than those for the partitioning camp. Sorry I dont feel like searching this thread right now...
 hope this helps. Ce message a été modifié par eaks - mer. 23 mars 2005, 18:27. -------------------- you wish!!!!
