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 |

Paul,
Depending on what other applications you may choose to install, I'd actually recommend picking up a secondary internal SATA HDD to store your music on and keep the 80GB as a single partition for your system, tools and applications. You will find that if you are prolific enough you will run out of space on the 80GB drive quickly enough. Also, depending on the applications and where they store their resources, 80GBs will be just about enough for any Virtual Memory swap files and your software and resources. You can pick up an internal 160GB SATA drive for around $100 from Outpost.com (or Fry's if you have one close to you). Best of luck and enjoy your new G5! Deacon -------------------- |
