I'm building a system with the P4C800-E, utilizing two new Maxtor 80GB SATA drives. XP Home with NTFS will be used on the primary drive (probably a single partition), which will be used for gaming, music (recording and listening), watching DVD's, and regular computer stuff. The other drive will be a mirror of the primary drive, and might contain the pagefile/VM in a separate partition. Do I even need a pagefile/VM with 2GB of RAM?
What configuration will give me the best possible performance?
I do have a spare WD 40GB IDE ATA133 sitting around if that could somehow be thrown in to improve things in an alternative configuration someone thinks up.
How can I take full advantage of the hard drive options on this motherboard for maximum performance?
Thanks!
