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 |

Wow I just noticed, lookit all the virtual memory being used!! No wonder, you're choking the poor thing. Ha ha hold on i'll get a calculator...no no I've stopped counting at 4gigs!!
 OS tiger will use virtual memory even if you have 8 gB fitted but your ratio is like 8 to 1! Add as much as you can afford, a couple of 1gig sticks at least but things will improve with just another 512... -------------------- Simon Flinn
