This is getting off the main topic a little but now that you mention it. I have been running loops off of a 7200 RPM external HD (Oxford chipset) enclosure & really don't notice ANY change in my CPU load (still pretty high) & also have been known to get "pops & clicks" in my audio (doesn't happen when running from my system drive, but I did increase my sample & plug in buffer rate & it did seem to improve things somewhat). Am I doing something wrong? The drive enclosure is from Tiger Direct & my Mac automatically recognized it as an "Oxford" drive. I have it running into my FW800 port on my 1.5GHZ G4 Powerbook via a 400 to 800 adapter cable. I am also using a Mackie Onyx FW card & mixer on my FW 400 port. Any suggestions?

Drae, you just experienced the evil firewire front port effect of the G5s!
 It's the only port I've been able to change the firmware of my NEC DVD burner with. On others computers, it fries interfaces… (M-audio mostly) mortalengines, I'm at loss…  Only left thing I see would be a FW card in the PCMCIA slot…  or trying another external HD… but if it's still not the trick!
