Raptor as main drive or not?

Hi guys,

I have a 74gb Raptor and an 80gb 7,200 RPM WD Caviar.

I currently have the operating system on the Caviar and my games and swap file on the raptor. Is this the fastest way of doing things or should I have the operating system on the raptor and the games etc on the Caviar?

The pc is used just for gaming

Thanks in advance

OS and games on the raptor, with swap file on the Caviar.

Yeah.. swap file on another drive...

Although a mate of mine with 2gb ram has not used a pagefile for ages, and had no problems with a gaming pc...

Thanks guys. Looks like a rebuild is in order. I just want BF2 to load quicker!!

Pagefile is always present, 8MB is the minimum. Windows requires it - but when you have 2GB, it only uses about 100MB maximum even when gaming so yeah, it isn't used much.
