I'm building a pc with Asus A8N-sli premium board Amd 64x2 cpu Evga 7800gt pci-e and with corsair pc3500LL pro ram.I need help advice on hard drives I have one WD 60 sata raptor and a new WD2500SK with 16 cache.If I use both should I make the raptor my boot up drive and use the other as main drive?Or just use the 2500se16 drive.I would like the best performance.What would be the best way to get the best performance? I'm lost about hard drives I'm useing windows xp pro.
Thanks
Joe
 
Probably you will get a slightly better bootup time from having Windows on the Raptor (I think you must have the 74GB one, since there is no "60"GB Raptor). However, the new 7200RPM/16MB drives are pretty damn fast, so it's not like it will be slow if you just use the 250GB as your sole drive.
