Depends on what you're using the computer for and what your data loads are and how this computer and its data will fit into your backup strategy.

If it were me, I'd probably end up with:

36 gig #1: system boot, operating system, and so on.
36 gig #2: page file, TEMP and TMP directories, browser cache, etc.
74 gig: my data, including moving Documents and Settings over here.

On one or two of my servers, I have the system on two RAID1 drives; maybe you can consider that for the two 36 gig drives.
