    Can I delete my Intel Folder which contains the Extreme Graphics Folder and Logs Folder, all which are empty?? Also, can I delete the PerfLogs folder and one of the Program files Folders (normal and x86 folder)? So far I have installed my browser, utilites, flash, java, etc all that stuff onto my SSD and not the HDD

    If you are that paranoid about filling up your 128 GB SSD...and no you cannot delete your Program Files folder...your programs will not work..

    if it's a fresh install i would leave that stuff alone. do the other tweaks to optimize space. and make sure you backup.

    102 now :) and thats with quite a few things installed. However. this should pretty much be one of my last questions. Is there a list of what I should put on the SSD and what should go on the HD? I have all my drivers on the ssd, windows, java, directx, chrome, nvidia, cc leaner, glary utilities, nvidia control panel etc, microsoft .net 4...thats about it. Most importantly do I put my games on the SSD? (Rift and Minecraft, maybe SC2) Lastly, what about things like CPUID, GPUZ, and Speccy??

    you should put games on the ssd it should help with the loading time. Why pay for the space and not use it ?

    everything on the ssd and nothing not on the ssd for best gain. only put stuff away from the ssd if you don't need it that often and it's really just there eating space. or if you really don't have enough.
