I currently have a Maxtor 200Gb HD in my machine, it's IDE, not SATA.

If I were to buy a Raptor SATA 74Gb, which would be the best option:

1 - Raptor in Primary with OS on, Maxtor as slave

2 - Maxtor as primary with OS (as it is now), Raptor as slave.

Bear in mind the most my PC is used for now is gaming and music playback - WoW and iTunes my most commonly used programs (minus browsing with FF).

My ideas is the following, I ust need your feedback on if it's good enough, or if there'a more efficient way of working it:

Raptor in Primary with OS and all other essential stuff on, like Browser, iTune, OpenOffice etc.
Maxtor as secondary/slave with all my music, games and other junk on.

I'm basically after the most efficient setup, i.e. quickest boot-up, quickest loading of files/games etc. while having vital apps on a separate drive to my junk.

If there's a better way to do it, please let me know!

Unrivalled services
Freeola has to be one of, if not the best, ISP around as the services they offer seem unrivalled.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
