how can you mak particles fade out instead of suddenly dissapear?
Just add alpha keyframes to the material. The first 100 frames of the material IPO are mapped to the lifetime of each particles.

How would you go about that?
Put your mouse cursor in the material buttons window and press I.
%<
and then? is it then aplied globally? or without effect?

I’m not sure what you mean, but the IPO will be mapped to each particles individually in relation to its life.
