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 ~

Maybe my last post wasn't totally clear. While I have partitioned my Powerbook's drive into two parts, one for ProTools and one for evrything else that I do on my computer, I record everything to an external Firewire 800 drive. The internal 4200RPM drive is much to slow to be able to read/write an appreciable amount of tracks.
I would never recommend recording to your Powerbook's internal drive, I've seen so many posts on here of people getting errors when they get past 3 or 4 tracks, and many of my sessions are 16 tracks or better. The reason I have the internal drive partitioned is because I want to have two completely separate systems to run from. My smaller partition has ProTools and OS10.3.2 (I like to use a proven and supported version) installed on it and that's it. My larger partition has OS10.3.8 and everything else; Photoshop, Office, internet apps, etc. I don't want anything I might download or install on my computer to mess with the OS that is running ProTools. |
