I am creating a custom build:
* Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz
* Intel X25-M 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive
* HITACHI Deskstar 2TB SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
* XRadeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB 128-bit Video Card
* 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
* Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4-B3 mother board
I'll be using win 7 most of the time, but I want to be able to boot into Ubuntu for video editing. I'd also like to be ready for when Sandybridge is supported by the hackintosh community.
That said, I'd like to use the 80GB SSD as my windows boot drive and possibly to boot into Ubuntu. What are some good strategies for dividing up the 80GB SSD and the 2TB Drive so I can use them to their best advantage?
I also have a Win2k Virtual Machine that I will probably be using from the 2TB drive for backwards compatibility.
Is there any special software I'll need?
