Dual G5 with dual hard drives
Thinking of getting a G5 with two hard drives, one for OS and the other for recording audio in lieu of seperate firewire drive. Will this work? 002, PT6.4, OS 10.3.4., Reason 2.5.

Re: Dual G5 with dual hard drives
Do check out the "Best Desktops" thread, but only if you want to save a half to two thirds the cost of a G5 with a comparable-in-performance PC. Please note, I said comparable-in-performance not comparable-in-hardware. Most Mac people want to make a comparable-in-hardware comparison when the issue of price comes up. A fully tricked out, dual Opteron is not much cheaper than a comparable-in-hardware dual G5. However, a dual Opteron is not necessary to get the same performance in PT LE as a dual G5. Some of the Centrino laptops are the equal of or slightly better than a Mac dual G5 when it comes to PT LE performance. See this post. YMMV
Cheers,
