So I am building my new X2 computer as soon as I can buy the 4400+. I will be getting a Raptor 74, 250GB 7200rpm, and 60GB 7200RPM. I was wondering what configuration would give me the best performance. I was thinking this, tell me if you see any glaring errors:

Raptor: OS, APPS, GAMES
250: Music, Movies, Media (like rar files), Documents
60: Paging, Temporary Files

Anything that can improve the performance?
 
If you're like me and have an MP3 playlist that runs all the time, you may want to experiment with having those music files on the 60GB drive (if they'll fit ;)). If the load on your 250GB drive gets kind of high, you may wnat to shuffle stuff around. Depends on your access patterns. Generally, when you're multitasking, you want as many spindles as possible working for you - a second or third spindle doesn't do you any good if you never use it and one drive does 90% of the work. Find what achieves the best balance for your use.
