Cheers olighalebi, someone else said that too. I think i'll stick with just one UDMA 100 drive.
A lot of people say that you should have a single drive dedicated to audio. Does the abscence of apps/other data enhance performance?

it all depends on your processor power and how much ram is on your system.
i got one drive for audio and one for everything else.
tip: you want as little as possible on your system tray (all the little icons by the clock) have as many programs as you like on the computer but disable any that come on the system tray unless you really need them

*nods*
and of course important to keep her defragged constantly ;)
one option you might consider is a partition for just yer audio stuff...
currently on this comp i have a 40 gig (which turns out to be like 38)
but anyhoo! i have C: , D: , E: , F: lol... then my DVD and CDRW are M: and N: respectivly ;)
i was gettin frustrated with some instability issues i was having, and a buddy gave me this set up..... thus far it works well
C: primary logical drive NTFS (bout 2 gigs the idea being it's JUST your OS... the ONLY thing on it is your windows)
D: is 1.2 gigs... i have my I386 folder on there (off the iwndows CD so i don't haveta "please insert windows CD now"... my Temporary Internet folders... and my my page, uses that drive (page is your virtual memory, that's what ends up fragmenting your system, cuz it just grabs free bits of memory to use as a sort of 'ram'... doesn't clean up after itself though, so i keep all the defrag on D, and so it doesn't slow everything else down)
E: is 10 gigs... it's in FAT32.. it's where i install everything (fat32 cuz some proggies dutn like NTFS)
F: 24 gigs.. NTFS.. this is just storage.. this is where all my music goes, all my miscelanious pictures, text, everything that isnt' a program that runs etc :)
the beauty of this.... is if windows is buggering horribly and needs to be reinstalled.... you can format C: and everything else is still there, might not all work properly, but it's there so at least you can work with it :)

Listen peeps if there's one thing i know its that the soundblaster cards are *really* pants for music making. I strongly suggest you all get rid of them.
Damn computer music magazine....
