not sure, how i want my hd's setup.

[Wildace]

i have

2 Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200KS 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB

and

1 Western Digital Raptor WD360GD 36.7GB 8MB


i pretty much want the 2 320's on raid 0 (im not worried at all about a drive dying)

but i dont know how i want partitions and windows installed, i want the best possible game loading/performance but still have no real issues with Fraps not being able to write data fast enough.

the raptor is small and i realize that so its either limited to being a windows install or just a page file if its worth even using at all. i also wouldnt mind being able to dualboot xp and vista, sence i do have both.

im rather open to opinions. my new cpu/mb wont be here till monday so i have a little bit of time to decide.

basicly the system will be

E4300, OC @what ever i can get. (Tuniq Tower)
MSI P6N Platinum
8800GTS 320mb
X-Fi Fatality Pro
2x 320GB WD
1x 36gb Raptor
Windows Xp/Vista Dual Boot (most likely set on dual booting)

put the 320's in R0 and install Windows there.
Use the Raptor for the page file and a place to keep copy's of important files as backup.

As for partitioning, that's just about moot.
Personally I setup about 20 - 30GB C: for windows and programs, 100GB+ D: for games installations, and X: for storage.
