Hey,
I'm considering upgrading my PB G4 1Ghz hard drive from a 60GB 4200rpm 8mb cache to a 60GB 5400rpm 16mb cache. My FCP editing has been limited lately, but I do have my HD set up with a video capture partition, which has worked perfectly (read: no dropped frames on capture or playback) when I have used it. My thought is that I'm going to stay with this machine as long as I can and that the extra speed and cache will optimize the machine for multiple application use as well as for FCP use. I have the max of 1GB of RAM and am running FCP 3 on 10.3 w/out problems. Any constructive input on this idea, both in terms of expected results with FCP and general system peformance with multiple apps, would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
J
