He rarely uses 9.2.2, but does still use it regularly, so it can't be OS X only.
He recently has tried to play so video's (DVD or MOV format) and has a slight stuttering which may be the slow CPU or HD?
I will be upgrading his System soon and I'm thinking about partition schemes.
I thought a small 2 GB for OS 9.2.2, then a large 48 GB for OS X, and then a 5 GB for video or scratch disk.
The questions are:
If the final 5 GB partition is on the outer sectors will these have faster access than inner sectors?
Could I striped RAID the 48 GB by making two 24 GB and use Disk Utility RAID to get faster access? I've never heard of RAID on a single HD, will this work and actually gain speed? Perhaps I should do the whole drive this way if it is faster.
Thanks! Kris
