I have a 500mhz dual processor G4 overclocked to 550 mhz. Unfortunately, I jumped into the poor house on this computer and have to run both internet apps as well as my music apps on the same computer. Would the best way to go about this be to partition the hard drive or run it all together and use different extension settings?
I am so glad that I had the sense at the time to buy an external drive for audio  Any help would be appreciated. |

actually, along as you have external for audio recording... you should be fine... running music apps with other apps on same partition is common... the only exception with internet apps is that web browsers fragment drives quicker thanks to cache... if you don't use the cache its no big deal... you could ideally create a small partition to use as a cache for browsers and other apps like photoshop and others that use cache space then it will keep system from needing defraged as often. I always designate a 1-2 gig partition for this reason.
as long as you keep you drives defragged... anyway you do it should work fine though
