Then there's me, but I'm weird...

For my secondary drive I use removable drives.  I have three different 
drives I can plug in (only one at a time, of course).  Windows and Linux 
on the first (non-removable) drive, three Linux distros plus some 
Windows partitions on each of two of the removables and just Windows on 
the third.  (I like to play with different Linux distros...    :-) 
Also I like multiple Windows partitions, I think it's easier to organize 
things that way.  IMO, of course.)

But as I said, I'm weird.    ;-)     (And a 71-year-old geek.)

FWIW, I use System Commander as my boot manager, much easier to use for 
large numbers of OS's.  Especially with the removable drives -- it 
detects the changes automatically.

BTW, I'm using a 32 bit Athelon 2000+, with 1 GB memory.  But I think 
this system is starting to get tired too, and I'll probably upgrade to a 
newer system sometime soon as well.
