i'm about to format my drive and I was wondering if I should instal windows on my 74gb raptor or instal it on my WD300gbHD. I have games like Gears of war,Unreal3& Css
performance is important for me! but I like windows to run as smooth as possible! pls help me to make a choice :)...My system specs are
Mobo: Asus p5ne-sli
CPU:Q6600 quad core
gpu:8800gtx
psu:corsair hx620w
Ram:4gb of crucial ballistix pc6400
storage: 75GB WD raptor & 300GBWD drive

My thought would be Windows and also install the game also into the raptor too. Most windows stuff loaded into RAM already and Raptor has great random access time. When you play the game, most resource are dedicated for the game. Just dont fill up the raptor, you will be good.

Quoted from Radified >>>>
"My Advice: Zippier performance from your disk-storage system however, is not the main reason people multi-partition their drives. If you *really* want better performance from your disk storage system, get yourself a 10K-rpm Raptor, or better yet, a 15K-rpm SCSI beast.
Personally, I advocate the use of a small, fast drive to run your O/S and apps, and a large, slow drive for (cheap) mass storage. Your 50-gigs of MP3s don't need to be stored on an expensive, high-performance drive."
