WinXp & Game~Partitions & best for WinXP?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Am in a quandary as to placing computer games within the same partition as
Windows XP with SP2, or setting up a separate large partition with a few
special folders to place the computer.games individually into.

(?) Also there is the option of setting up a partition for each individual
game
outside the primary Windows XP partition.

Wanting to achieve the best possible environment for the WinXP working
condition I am thinking of moving the Paging File to the first partition (D)
to improve Win XP's ability to work faster.

Lots of questions and I do appreciate your advice with each possible
setup of my 're-install' of Win XP and partitioning of the 160GB hard drive.

I thank you for reading this message and hope for positive responses.
