Why not? I usually keep all the non-data stuff (OS, software, games) in the first partition.

Games go to another drive, easier to format Windows, and paged files are used on the outer platter because the games partition uses the outer partition.

And this is still my main reason. I hardly game, so I don't want to sacrifice my daily usage for moving the page files.
