Installing windows + pagefile on seperate hd query

Well, if i install windows and my pagefile on a completely seperate hard drive with nothing else, not related to windows installed on it, would that give me a lot of extra speed or a noticeable improvement in speed?
thanks

so installing windows on a different drive wouldnt affect the speed then

cheers

so i wouldnt gain any speed from installing windows on sata 80gb hard drive. and installing everything else on a 160gb sata 2 hard drive

would installing everything on a single sata 2 160gb spinpoint hard drive decrease performance or not as that would be the cheaper option form me?

The performance difference would be very minimal provided you partitioned the drive up correctly.

so theres not much point partitioning the hard drive as the gain in performance is minimal. i should just install everything normally all on the drive
