performance hit on games whatsoever. After first installing, there's a LOTS of
hard drive activity. Same thing when upgrading from one version to another.
But after that, I see no negatives to it -- as long as you can sacrifice 10% of
your hard drive space.
That said, I hope that it doesn't create any problems for me when I install my
new motherboard this weekend (using the same HD and other system components). I
don't expect it to cause any problems.... (Knock wood)
