Question Quick HDD Config Question...

OK my current set up is:

Shit 13gig drive with OS, and a 40gig drive for files (ie mp3 etc)
(both are 5,400rpm)

I am going to buy an 80gig JB WD Drive.

I will get rid of the 13 gig and be using the 40 and the 80. And Im thinking I should use the 800JB as the OS drive even though it is larger, because I will see better system performance?..

What would you suggest?

Cheers
