Can I install a photo-editing app on it's own partition?

I have heard some talk about creating a separate drive for storing graphics
and music files and I was wondering if anyone knew why this is? I am
working with a lot of image files at the moment via both a digital camera
and a scanner and when I work with them it slows down my laptop big time
when have Internet Explorer and other programs running at the same time. (I
use Ulead Photoimpact to edit them).
Could this be improved if the image files, or even the entire photo-editing
apps and files were all installed on another partition (ie. that I would
have one drive letter dedicated solely to image work)? My hard drive is 20GB
(11GB currently free) and my RAM is 512MB. There is already a small
partition (roughly 1GB) that came with the laptop which I assume to be for a
page file or bootup or whatever...
