Depends, what are you going to do? just put a couple of hdd in, or do a RAID 1, RAID 0??

If I were to choose I would get a 36gig raptor and put my OS on it. along with company of heroes, then just leave everything else on my 320gig.

I think he means, just having an extra hard drive. Not raiding them.

You shouldn't do that. You should reinstall windows on the new partition.
