I already have my new computer up and running with 2 partitions on first harddrive. First partition has OS and program files, second partition being much larger for media storage. How else can I increase performance? I am a gamer by the way. Should my page file be moved? Can this be done without reformatting? I have a second harddrive by the way. It is a slower WD 750GB at only 5400 to 7200 RPM It has no partitions and am using it for media storage as well. If I should reformat this drive to add another partition, this can easily be done. I'm running XP on a new dell vostro dual core. Thanks for any help.

Is the best link for recommended tweak settings? -

So I should move my pagefile to my second slower hardrive I'm using for storage? How do I do this? Should page file have it's own partition? How about the afterdawn link I posted above. Is this a good source for system tweaks?
