Im tempted to buy a new hard drive and i have been looking @ the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB ST3320620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache and from the reviews it sounds great, but whats best for me ?. I have lots of games, applications etc so would it be best having two hard drives where one is for games etc and the other is for the operating system and applications?, i would prefer running one hard drive for everything but i dont wanna lose performance in games, replies would be appreciated

ok i appreciate the replies as i was a bit lost with SATA as im used to IDE setups, i take it when you install windows a fresh you get an option to install SATA drivers from a floppy ?
