I'm not sure what your talking about.

But right now I have 3 partitions, 1 for 7, 1 for xp and 1 for data. The speed on those partitions are all the same.

I think you meant if your hdd is full, then it takes a little longer to read and write data.

Hitting 3.8 was easy, getting a stable 4.0 ghz, that will be a challenge!

Thats good to know.

What ive read, is that the second partition is closer to the center of the hdd or something which is less used and is slower then the outside (possibly the other way around)

+1 rep for help so far
