I have two 500 gb drives in a raid 0.

Will partitioning the drive in the following way provide enough of a performance increase to make it worthwhile?

c:\ Vista 64 drive

d:\ First person and RTS drive

f:\ FSX drive and add ons

e:\ apps

g:\ music and video and misc

How many drives can I create? Will it ever create a performance decrease?

Will doing the above actually help or am I over thinking things here. Any further tips?

Cheers

Because of the very nature of windows, even with an aps partition lots of crap still gets installed onto the c drive.
Sooner of later a windows os install will need to be refreshed ie format and install, so I just use 2 smaller drives for my raid 0 and then I partition a second set of drives if I want raid 0 speed for data and such.
Also when I create a raid 0 install I ghost it so I can put it back quickly.
