...or not? I started reading this thread, but it got a bit bogged down in bickering. My current setup is as follows:
20GB drive:
-6GB Partition (Windows XP, Office, other necessary apps)
-2GB Partition (Page File)
-12GB Partition (Excess space, I plan to merge this space into the 6GB on my next format)
160GB drive:
Games, My Documents, Data Storage
My main question is this: Would I get better performance lumping the games in with the OS and apps on the same partition/drive? I'm talking fragmentation, read/write, access time. Both are 7200 drives, so there should be no difference.
