I removed a lot of items that don't need to be there for recording. Like what? I know I have a ton of stuff in mine that I don't need but are there specific files etc..t hat I can get rid of also, i knew my way around OS 9 pretty well but I don't know OSX too well in terms of configuring things. An...

Extremely interesting information. This post seems to have taken on a new life. The reason I did not go Seagate was because they did not give all the specs I wanted to see (I'm not sure which they were, I forgot but) it may have been the sustained data transfer rates, which I learned from one of the...

Everything is working smoothly for me over here. My last question is about the boot drive that came with the node. it only has a 2mb cache. Would it be a substantial gain in tracks or performance to upgrade that to a quicker drive similar to what I've got for the data drive?

It's definitely food for thought. That's for sure. As I was adding to my post, you sent me your reply. I was actually going to get the 1st drive I listed but after hearing your post, I have to weigh my costs. so you've helped me a lot as well as hindered my progress. Of course doing the best thing i...

Now i don't know where I'm at I'm afraid to make a decision. there is sooo much info out there, it would take months of research to make the best decision. I am truly lost i'm over thinking. I have not found anything talking about 16 MB cache being more advantageous than an 8 MB cache. More advice p...

I don't know but you can go to apple /support / discussions and look it up at the itunes questions. I'm sure someone else has already asked that one. Good Luck.

:D Wow!!! great feedback. Going to do a little research tomorrow taking into consideration your input. I was going to go 300GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ATA/6 7200RPM 16MB Buffer, 5yr Seagate Warranty (SEAST3300622A) for data and 250GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ATA/6 7200RPM 8MB Buffer w/5yr Seagate W...

As far as the CPU upgrade goes, my thoughts on this are always the same. It is very expensive. You are not upgrading the bus speed. While you will see somewhat of a performance increase, Is it really worth that amount of $$? Also, if it is an Apple, you can't use the Apple hardware testers anymore. ...

The more ram you have the less paging the system will have to do, the less it has to go back to the HD to get data from the HD. You can't have too much in a G5. on the powerbook, i think each application can use almost a GB of RAM. that info can probably be found on apple's website. OS X is very pic...

I'm building a new box. QuickSilver DP 1 GB, 1.25 GB RAM. Boot / app drive is the hd that came with the box, an 80 GB something or other. System- 10.4.x (the highest),it's heavily customized. I removed a lot of items that don't need to be there for recording. It flies for what it is. Basic hardware ...

I'd be willing to bet you have a bunch of bad prefs. First you could make a new user (OS X) and see if you get the same error. If so, delete that user and look at the library (not the the system or yours). there are alot of prefs that can be trashed and rebuilt. It's complicated to explain but they ...
