Personally, I prefer putting OS X on the IDE drive, so as to avoid driver hassles. If your SCSI interface *and* drive is significantly faster, then consider moving your swapfiles over there. From the hardware pov... The built-in IDE in the Sawtooth is Ultra ATA/33 (33 MB/sec). Exactly what model PCI SCSI card? What type of SCSI is it? SCSI ranges from 5 to over 300 MB/sec - all depends on the type. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
