The only major performance saver drive-wise in Windows would be to put your pagefile on a different drive that your programs and main OS reside on.

Do they all have to be the same hard drive or can it be like, 120 GB for the OS, 400GB for games/etc

I really dont have much music or videos to save So i think two would be a better route for me as of now. Let use this as a exmaple.

I have a seagate with 300GB, I can remove all my programs(back them up) install a WD with 400GB of space and install the games to the new drive and everything should work fine.,

Would it hurt to use windows swap file on the hard drive with the OS/(main apss which i do not have many of them) files?

For that purpose, they can be of any size.

120GB is overkill 10 times over for WinXP, and 6 times over for Vista.

The only times you need matching drives is for RAID or when doing batch file mirroring.
