So again, my 250 GB will be split into two partitions of 50 and 200 GB. The 50 will be for the OS and pagefile; the 200 will be for apps.

Then the 500GB drive will be used ONLY for data.

How does that sound?
You may want to re-think 50gb if you are planning on Vista + Office 2007 and want to continue with that setup for another 4-5 years.
