Hard Drives

Hello, I have a quick question about using 2 hard drives. I want to use my smaller (20g) hard drive for my operating system and general programs. I have a 2nd hard drive (40g) that i want to use for my games.

So my question is: Will it decrease the performance of my games to have them installed on a seperate drive than my OS?

I have to disagree. processor will have its hardest times working. And this may result in choppy graphics, lag spikes and so on ...
