As for the page file on a different partition, bad idea unless it is on a different physical disk. There is a reason that is at the beggining of your primary disk. Speed. If you have say a 40 gig partition for the OS and then a partition for the swap, eventually your disk will fail. same reason that if you are running say [COLOR=blue! important][FONT=verdana, tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT=verdana, tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]vista[/font][/font][/color][/color] with 512ram, your disk will be thrashing constantly trying to read the pagefile because there is not enough [COLOR=blue! important][FONT=verdana, tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT=verdana, tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]ram[/font][/font][/color][/color], the disk will be over worked and eventually fail.
| As I pointed out, not just a different HDD, either. It needs to be on a separate channel as well.
