New system: P4, 3.2 Ghz, 800 FSB w/2 Gb of PC3200 Ram. 2 WD 36 Gb Raptors @ 10k RPM SATA in a Striped RAID 0 and a MAXTOR 160Gb-8mb cache UDMA-133 @ 7200 RPM on SATA interface, ATI FireGL X1 128 mb graphics.

Will be running W2K Pro OS and the primary application will be UG. Question is, should I load OS on MAXTOR drive, place paging file on a seperate partition of striped Raptors and place Unigraphics app on Raptors?

I'm a newbie to this forum and also just starting to work out of a home office on a contract basis. Anyone to confirm this config or give me any better ideas is much appreciated.

Thanks...
