well what you can do is partion your hard drive so you have a C Drive and a W Drive or whatever but if there is like 20 GB on your C Drive, no matter how much you fill the other drive, it will not slow down your computer.

i think thats rite

well as long as you have a partion for the C Drive which has a good amount of space then it should be fine

as long as you have enough space on your C Drive then you should be able to use up as much space as you want on a different drive

Get linux and make a swamp partition, when your computer runs out of ram for linux to run, it will change to the swamp partition and run the harddrive as ram :) no slow computer O.o
