hi.

i´m going to install my new pc and i have 3 hard drives. i use a lot games.

the drives are a raptor 150gb, hitachi sataII, seagate barracuda.

Yes, you can install video games and OS on seperate HDD.

It depends on what you want to install on the raptor...

do you want...

1) a faster boot time

or

2) you want a faster game loading time

If you want "1" then install the OS on the raptor, and if you want "2" intall the os on another drive, and the games on the raptor.

well, i prefer to have the games without stutering....

right now i have the games and windows in the raptor; but i´m going to re-install everything.

i wonder if the diference in games will be big in the "2" option..
