    would it this immidiate change will benefit me a bit or not ?

    No. They're still on the same physical drive. c, d and e are just logical splits of the raid 5 array you have. You need to get the data file, log files and tempDB onto seperate physical drives.

    and should i use index tunning wizard ? and how abt that 3gb switch?

    Wait on that until the drive configutration is better. It may not be necessary.

    and also can u give me any check list for the performance counter whiich gives the should be ideal data for the processes ,so i can check or should set some alert on that those values...

    sec/read and sec/write should be under 50 ms

    buffer cache hit ratio should be above 90%

    those are the two main ones I can think of.
