start up disk partition
so my mbpro in signature has had the internal drive replaced with a toshiba MK3261GSYN 7200 rpm 320gb journaled hfs+ running 10.6.8. itunes 11.4, and iphoto, etc.
i have so far, 60GB's just in music files stored in my itunes library, then i want to say almost 90GB of movie files also in tunes, plus a ton of images in iphoto.
i was thinking of using disk utility to create like stated above a volume just for application and OS, then create and designate separate partitions/volumes for the above mentioned applications, in hopes it might ease load on general operations etc.
i also have a seagate barracuda 160GB hd from my old iMac G5 ppc, that has music and photos id like to include on my mbp hd, will a ppc based hd communicate with an intel based hd? by either OWC hd dock station or hd sleeve via fw800
i dont have the choice available to just go out and get a newer mbpro so im trying to make what i have, work to the best of its ability, etc.
i want to install another 2GB of ramm, the superdrive is needing replaced so im thinking of OWC for the RAMM upgrade and for getting a upgrade/replacement super drive, as well as a PCIe express card with firewire800 and extra usb 2 or if id work 3.0 usb ports.
odd question, what other if any, logic boards will install into my a1211's case i was wondering if you can swap logic boards from like another 15 inch mbpro kind of like doing a engine swap in a car etc.
im also i think pushing my capabilities to their limits as im also running a second display in single screen expansion mode instead of "mirroring" mode.
any advice is appreciated,
