Two hdd's, 1 for gaming, 1 for OS

[Ardorius]

Hey guys,

So I have a 74gb raptor and an 80gb 7200rpm. Would you recommend installing xp 64bit on the slower hdd and have all my games installed on the raptor or vice versa? Which would give me more performance while playing games without bottlenecking my pc? thanks a lot.

you need to install your games on your OS hdd because when you install games it not only creates directories but also tweaks windows registry files and writes Instructions all to the OS Hdd. I would suggest to use the fastest hdd for your OS, Applications, and games, and use the other hdd for your data/gave save files.

Even if you had 2 Raptors, keeping everything on one drive would give you the same performance.
