    Games on primary or secondary?

    So when I set up the drives create a small partition for the OS, and the rest for data, so I will have 2 virtual drives on the 1st physical drive, and the 2nd physical drive just create 1 partition for the games on it? How much room should should I leave for the OS partition?

    Games on primary or secondary?

    I'm very dissapointed in my Audigy 2 zs

    Just god damn it! AHHH! My problem is as I explained above I need to be able to use my sennheiser pc 150's for teamspeak. The mic I was using was the one that is embedded into the skull of my webcam, and as you can guess, it's a piece of crap, yet suprisingly not as crappy as the audigy 2 zs...
