Re: help with partitioning my c drive
[ QUOTE ]
Interesting point, but in practice so much software installs DLLs/OCXs etc to your system32 directory instead of its install directory that your drive will be thrashing back and forth between the partitions for most tasks.

Yes they do, but the install directory should be on the same parition as the os, and that partition will be the smallest on the disk and therefor have the shortest seektime. The OS and programs should be on the same partition, but the data (like poker tracker database, or your word documents) on another.
Actually til this point I have never heard anyone recomend against partitioning your drive.
