Raptor + bid disk

If you have a 10k raptor and a misc 'big disk', what's the optimal partitioning scheme for standard single user, gaming/office/graphics type application?

You put windows on the raptor obviously. Games (say), is it particularly important where the go? Or does it not matter too much, because (say) in game, most stuff is happening with data in memory?

And what about the swap file. Again, is it best to have it on the raptor, even though that's the same drive as windows - or faster to have it on a separate drive?

Any other suggestions/tips?

Cheers :)
 
run all programs from the Raptor and store all your media and junk on the big HD.
 
I'd say Windows+Swap on Raptor, and games on the big drive. The second best alternative is probably Windows+games on Raptor, and swap on the big drive.

 
This is a very common setup on these boards. I use a single Raptor as my C partition, where I install XP, and have my apps / games. The debate rages on, I guess, but there's no benefit from having your games on a separate partition. I have a 120 GB Seagate drive partitioned completely as D:, where I store my data files and a ghost backup image of C:. My entire D drive is ghosted to a server, so I have redundancy everywhere.
