Ituns on a mac mini 2k mem Help

Question

I just have gone to Mac from IBM clone this month. Best thing I ever did. Now for my question.
I have crated too user's and have a music file on lacie fire wire drive and both users acsess the same music files. If I run any other prog wile listining to music the songs keep skipping. Is there any way to dedicate ram for Itunes only or does any one have any segestions? My nerves are getting shot
Thanks so much

Open the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and look for the iTunes process; to the left of it, there will be a number under Process ID. Note down this number and then open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript folder. Enter the following:
do shell script "renice -1 number" with administrator privileges
where number is the process ID you found earlier. Type in your password; when done, iTunes will work a bit faster and other applications a bit slower. The command can be repeated up to 20 times or until you're satisfied, whichever comes first. Changes to this setting are forgotten when you quit iTunes. To reverse the effect, use this:
do shell script "renice +1 number"
