my b&w g3 450 has a 9.1gb IBM SCSI hard drive in it right now..i have a DVD Writer and want to write dvd's but i dont think the HDD is large enough, as i only have about 4gb free..i know with Rev. 1 b&w's, there was a data corruption issue, but i have the Rev. 2 board and wish to put a larger hard drive on the IDE bus and get rid of the SCSI setup altogether. My few questions are:
1) what is the hard drive limit in terms of size i can use?
2) i read something about the OS has to be in the first 8 gb of the drive, but can I just use 1 partition if say i get a 40-80-120 gb drive? Or what would be the best way to do it?
3) will i lose performance? i know scsi is supposedly faster than ATA, but if using a PCI adapter card, a scsi hard drive is limited by the 66mhz pci bus..
i just need some guidance i think... and some recommendations.. :dummy:
