"I think this is your drive partition philosophy?). One partition for applications and one for data."

On my Maxtor, I'm currently running c: as a 95/NT FAT partition, 512 MB, for maintenance, testing, etc. Then on an extended partition I have 3 NTFS logical partitions:

D: my main OS partition, 1 GB
E: my apps and data partition, 5 GB
F: my drive image/binaries partition, about 4.5 GB

I would combine E: and F: if I had an easy, quick way to do drive images to another drive, and plan eventually to do this.

I think I explained the rationale for this earlier, but would be glad to answer follow-ups. (I would put the data on a seperate partition, except that I'm using laplink to back the data up seperately to a laptop, so less regular drive image backups are OK.)

Thanks for the virtual resolution description. I will be curious to hear how using the g100 with it works out. You might check onsale.com and related sites for nice deals on 21" monitors.
