Can I isolate all of my recording software and projects on an external firewire hard drive? Would there be any performance advantages? Disadvantages? Thanks!

You're talking about windows systems…
Keep your system on the internal drive with the apps, you can even change the internal drive to use a faster one (expensive so do it only if you can/need it really) but record on another drive, it'll help a lot the iBook. Else you'll encounter the track limit sooner just because of the internal drive. To boot from an external drive won't give you much benefit, the important is to reduce the strain caused by the system/app needning access to data on the internal drive and the needs of the sequencer to access audio file at the same time. Keep them separate, and you'll be happier. If the external drive is big, make at least 2 partitions, so it'll be easy to copy to partition B/reformat A/copy back to A (instant optimisation
