I currently have the following hdd's in my pc:

1x 30gb IDE - System (8gb) & Programs (20gb)
1x 60gb IDE - Music
1x 160gb SATA - Downloads / Games / Installs etc

I have roughly £200 I wanna invest in getting rid of the old hdds and getting with the times so to speak. I have a NAS system on my network at the moment with 1x 80gb in there n will put my 60gb drive in there when I've replaced it.

I'm a very avid BF2 player, and yes, as sad as it is - I want to load quickly into game, and yes I want to boot up into windows fast too. I'm a huge multi-tasker within windows, for example 6x firefox, mirc, torrents, trillian, teamspeak, winamp all on the go at the same time, n I like to browse my pc n load up programs quickly (very impatient)

Basically guys, the question is, with £200 what would be the best way to get a speed increase on what I have whilst still giving myself enough space to get me through my day?

Appreciate any help, thx
 
You guys reckon a 74gb raptor (singular or raid0??) also, is it best to partition it, or will the performance increase only be small?
 
A mate has offered me another 160gb sata, so all space problems would be solved. Its the raptor that would probably be needed I guess....

/me hunts for 2nd hand 74gb :D

thx for all your help guys
