But regarding the computer that you have, you would be better off just to
use the 500GB drive for storing all the stuff that you don't need on the
120GB drives. If you migrate some of your photos, music and videos (the
big
disc space hog) onto your large external drive you should have plenty of
disc
space for Vista to do its job at the most optimum speed that your system
components allow.

In short, don't bother migrating Vista onto the larger drive.


Thanks for the advice, there seem to be 2 very distinct schools of thought
here. one that it will improve the overall performance and the other that it
will not make much difference.

I would tend to think the latter, and that you'll be disappointed in
the results.
