Are you running any apps in the background? BTW, unrelated but do you have any RAID for your HDD's?

Is all that HD space really necessary? I've used two 60 gig drives for the past 3 years, and I've only used 30 gigs of space on each one...

Which Vista version do you have? If you have the 64-bit, I'm suprised it works at all.

And I have a 500 gb and have it half full with games on my HDD. Not including movies and such.

All I know is that most casual apps do not work with the 64-bit version of vista (to unstable), but if you can/want to triple boot it sounds like the only thing I can think of, you may want to wait and hear from a few other people on here first, like LOL WALMART, or some others.

Yeah, sounds like some sweet hard drive(s) setups though. So you have a terabyte, eh?

lol, Yeah, I had considered getting a few hundred more gigs, but I haven't used all that I have yet, so it would be a waste right now.

Hell, I remember back when it was a stretch to fill up a four gig hard drive. Double hell, I even remember when it was a stretch to fill up a 32 mb hard drive. That's right, 32 -blam!- megabytes baby.
