i just picked up an 80gig owc external drive for use with my ibook g4. I have it up and running, and i know that you are supposed to keep the app(pro tools 6.4) on the internal drive, and the audio files on the external, but i was wondering if there was anything else that needed to be done in order to make things run the best, i.e., changing directories for saving files in pro tools? thanks for the help

The reason they want you to save all of your files to a external drive is so if you have a problem in the computer you won't lose all of your files. The only thing I recommend is to run a program like Norton Utilities Disc Doctor & Speed Disk Defrager about every week to 2 weeks depending on how much you use pro-tools. It will help keep your mac running nice and fast....
