Dude couldn't that have been placed in one post.. I'm running only one partition do to the fact I need all the memory on drive C that I can get. As for debate I'm not going to take the time for that unless you or someone else wants to cover my hourly rates. Anyway this post was asking for an opinion and I gave mine as to what I'd do. What works for me might not work for you. It's all a matter of who you talk to and how much they know.
