One other thing about my hd's.. I now have the barracuda 1tb and I have my os and pt installed on it, which isn't the right thing, but I don't have another (fast) hd.. I only have another (older) Maxtor 160gb drive, also Sata but only 1,5Gb/s instead of 3 gb/s for the barracuda...

Do you think it would be better for the performance to install xp on the maxtor drive and have pro tools run from the barracuda?
(So I would also install PT to that drive and not on the Maxtor...)
i dont remember right off if you had the intel or gigabyte board. on the gigabyte you skip the second ram dimm, and use 1-3-4.

i would just leave the os drive. a sata 1 drive for most purposes will be fine. your 160 maxtor will be fine till you can upgrade.
