I've found a tweak that will improve durability of system paging file quite a bit, by default windows only assign's paging file to one harddrive.... What I've done is set 2 GB's of paging file on Three Harddisk's and it seems to have boosted performance a bit.... Ive got three internal HD's.... two 250GB and one 200GB which has a 160 and a 30 GB partitian on it... all of these have 512 MB paging file currently which spreads up to 2 GB total size.

seems to have boosted performance a bit.... Let me know what you think'

How much space do you really need? I've got an 80GB drive with everything I want on it and there's still like 30GBs left. I guess if you dl a ton of music and movies you might want more, but I'm not a huge fan of RAID. One drive fails and all your data goes bye bye...

In the 5 months i've had this computer, I have already used 70 gigs of my 250 gb hard drive, and speaking of hard drives, how much vitual memory do you need? i have 3072 kilobytes, and it wont go any higher. How much is good?

Tis what RAID 5 is for :) Or RAID 3. Or RAID 01. Or RAID 10. although 01 and 10 are technically nested RAID. go here: http://www.storagere...raid/index.html Great explanation.

See, technically, in a true RAID device, if one drive fails, no data should be lost. What is known as RAID-0 is really just AID-0 -- the R stands for Redundant, which RAID-0 is not.
