Hi all
I just have a simple question...how should I set my system up? I have: Mac G5 Dual 2Ghz Digi002 Internal 160Gig HD (with Tiger on it) Internal 160Gig HD (spare) External FW HD (Currently my Audio Drive) I get Drive too slow errors and I still get CPU errors which I hate and was the reason for upgrading to the G5. What is the best setup? The G5 has 2 Firewire posts, 1x 400 Mbit/s and 1x 800 Mbit/s ( I know you guys know this ). The Digi002 has 2x Firewire 400Mbit/s Ports. I can have my audio drive as the Internal main drive, internal secondry drive or external Firewire drive 400Mbit/s or 800Mbit/s. I also have a 6 pin to 9 pin firewire cable. Any ideas? Is it better to run the 002 on the 800Mbit/s port or the Audio Drive? what need to work faster? Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers Cybercampbell |

ignor that last post....i didn't see the new answers.
I'm on to it and thanks for all the help. action i'll take: 1. Add 1 gig of RAM (2 x 512MB) totaling 1.5 gig 2. Make my secondry Internal drive my Audio Drive (beter then FW 400/800 external) 3. increase the DAE buffer size from level 2 to higher in PT(to the highest or half way in between?) 4. Put the CPU usage limit to half way in both PT and Reason 5. Run all my samples (for Kontact in PT) and Reason Refills from the External FW800 Drive. 6. Get rid of all the Widgets Cheers Cybercampbell This post has been edited by cybercampbell: Fri 19 Aug 2005, 12:26 |
