Hi Terry,
This sounds like a really good PARIS machine. Here's what I would do:
Partition the drive and have Windows 98 and Windows XP installed. You'll
need the installation CDs for both. You also need to be mindful that Windows
98 requires a third party driver to access a hard drive larger than 120GB.
The Windows XP driver can still be tempermental. Keep 98 around just in
case.
Also, Windows XP requires at least 1.25 GB of Ram to work well for Audio.
The disk cache will try to cache your whole project up to 1 GB, forcing
program code into the swap file and bogging down the machine if you only
have 1 GB or less. It drove me nuts until I got more than 1 GB.
I hope thses suggestions are helpful!
Mike
