Hi Joseph, The best speed you can get from 2 hard drives is when you combine
them into a RAID-0 array (IMHO). It will be faster than simply separating
windows and chess stuff on different disks.

If you have 10K and 7.2K drives the best would be to put opening books and
tablebases on a 10k drive. The pagefile and windows stuff can be on either one,
because you don't want any swapping to happen during a chess game anyway.

Of course, be sure to have backup of everything important, regardless of what
hard disks are in your machine.
