i wanted to know that if i have my active partition size small will my computer perform better? many of my friend says to keep the c: drive small where windows is installed. my active partition size in 40gb.
i am using 40gb ata and a 160 gb sata2 drive. my sata2 has the active partion.

no need for a small c:\ drive, it doesn't make any difference
