One thing I am considering is : using the ibook for VJing at clubs. Spec of HDD inside ibook is 30GB : ATA/100 4200 rpm. I don't know how 4200 rpm HDD fast and sufficient : for VJing. : : So which way can I draw the potential more upgrade the HDD to 80GB : and stay in 4200 rpm or stay 30GB and buy outboard firewire HDD? An outboard firewire drive (*if* it's a full-size 3.5" drive and not a notebook-class drive) will probably outperform the internal drive. The internal drive might be sufficient; I had a 40GB 4200rpm drive in my Powerbook when I got it, and it was fast enough for most tasks. I upgraded to a 5400rpm drive, but it's still slower than my Firewire 7200rpm drive. -- agreenbu @ nyx . net andrew michael greenburg
