Thanks for the replies...
That was the sorta stuff I needed to hear. I wasn't sure if I was just creating extra work for myself with a lot of extra partitions. I think I'll just stick to the OS and page file partitions then.
I'll look into NTFS vs. FAT32, and the Raid 0 config, thanks! You're probably right, 500 is more than enough... so it may be time for Raid.
The Raptor I'm replacing was a 7200... just my 200GB storage drive was a 5400. So I doubt I'll notice that much of a difference going to the new 7200's. The raid config though, that might gimme a boost.
I put my order in yesterday, so probably a week before I have to allocate a day of my life to re-installing drivers.
