What should I install on each disk? SSD vs HDD

I am contemplating getting an SSD for my desktop system. I will install Win7 on it, and am wondering if I should install all other apps on it as well? I use VS2010. Would it help to install it onto the SSD?

If so, should my VS projects and source code be on the SSD as well? The source files are relatively small, so not sure if there would be any benefit/

Since Visual Studio is just like NetBeans (does a lot of I/O during startup/work), it would benefit from the SSD. And also, install the applications there that you use at boot. I.E. Anti-virus, "Everything", etc.

For the source files ... it depends. If the source is too big, keep it on the secondary HDD. If it fits on the SSD, move it there.

Choose wisely, what you install ... since the space is very limited.
