Dedicated OS disk
Klocknov:
Good ole .net frameworks, so much fun when you have programs that require 1 2 and 3.5... I really need to re-look at all the programs I am running and start getting rid of the pointless junk. Though after I get a drive to back-up my stuff on I will have this computer with a nice clean copy of linux to seed off of. (Though the fun part will be setting up my music bot for a few ventrilo's for my friends.)
Slysoft:
It's not my internet connection as a whole, it's simply my connection to game servers. For example, last night while playing counterstrike I was having terrible rubberbanding; I couldn't even move for 30-45 seconds, but I could hear people talking over voice and chat on steam perfectly fine. It also happens often playing Aion; my ping will jump from 130 - 1000+ and go back down. Browsing the web is completely normal though. It's odd.
kureshii:
Are you running anything that might be using the connection in the background? AV updates, Windows updates, torrents etc...
Lupin:
Image your OS drive instead of reinstalling. Removes the hassle of reinstalling all your software.

If you're running multiple harddrives, make sure the partitions containing torrent downloads are on a different disk as your OS partition is. Another good idea is to keep the swap file on a different drive.
Slykester:
While using a dedicated drive for either the OS or pagefile will halp, it's not going to fix the problem you're describing. I doubt your problem has anything to do with I/O contention, more likely you need to stop breaking your windows with pr0n and virii. :P
