Hey everyone,
I just bought the ZOTAC ZT-88TES3P-FCP GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 card then found out that it, by itself was faster than everything in my system except the hdd which is a WD Raptor. So after a very angry to minutes of trying to figure out how to cram a pci express connection in to a PCI, I went back on newegg.com and ordered a new mother board, quad core processor, 4GB of ram, and a 500watt power supply to power it all. Then I realize that I had an extra hdd lying around and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on how they should be partitioned. I would think I would want to use the raptor for the OS and games and such since it is much faster (10,000rpms vs the 7200 of the other hdd). If I do that should I set aside a separate partition for the OS of around 5gb (windows XP home edition) and just leave the rest as one big partition? And does the other hdd need to be partitioned if it will be used primarily for music, movies, etc....
Thanks guys
