Hi

I have returned to Mac after ten years in the Wintel camp. In a couple of days I take delivery of a Power Mac 1.8Ghz single processor with 1gb of RAM and 80gb hard drive. I will be using a digidesign MBox with protools LE and Sibelius. Can anyone help in regards to setting up the hard drive with partitions or if that is even necessary. Also I need advice on a fast but not too expensive external hard drive and flat screen.

Thanks in anticipation

I have been very happy with my Mercury Elite Firewire 800 from Other World Computing, very quiet, very fast.

I have also been reading of many very happy Mac users who have been purchasing Dell's new LCD monitors. You can get a 19"or 20" for around $550-$600 or so if you get in one of their special sales that they have very frequently.

I partitioned my internal drive so that I could have two completely different systems; one that I installed ProTools on, and another that I use for everything else. That way I can keep anything from conflicting with any extensions or system things that ProTools may have installed, and also make sure that the version of the OS that I am running works well with the version of ProTools that I am using. Digidesign seems to frequently take a while to make maintenence updates to match Apple's maintenence updates. I am currently running 10.3.8 on my "Internet and everything else" partition, and OS 10.3.2 on my ProTools partition.

Many think I am being overly cautious, but I have yet to have a crash or slowdown in ProTools.
