I'm new to using Logic, recording my band's album on there now and I've been advised to get a second hard disk for the recorded audio. My questions are: should I buy an internal ATA or an external Firewire? Do I run Logic from the startup drive, and save all Logic & audio files to the second disk? And how much Ram should I get - I have 256 now, in 2 sockets, would I be ok with another 512, or should I scrap one of the 128s in there now and install two 512s?
I have an old G4, single processor, 433mghz, OS 9.1 (hopefully upgrading to X soon), Firewire sockets, Logic 4.8 (again, hopefully upgrading soon). I know this is very basic information I'm asking for, but I hope someone can help me out?

<<should I buy an internal ATA or an external Firewire?>> definetely an internal ATA for your audio files + an external Firewire for back-up <<Do I run Logic from the startup drive, and save all Logic & audio files to the second disk?>> yes... you can also keep your logic files on drive one all audio files connected to your sessions should be on drive 2 optimize your drive as often as possible <<And how much Ram should I get - I have 256 now, in 2 sockets, would I be ok with another 512, or should I scrap one of the 128s in there now and install two 512s?>> the more ram you have in your computer, better it will fell. means go for 1 Gb (2x512) if you can best, eric
