Well that is just sick and wrong of nVidia
I would be so torqued if that happened to me
Wrong yes, but they won't pay the bill for their mistakes.
Actually I read about the tweak from CNET and tried it without thinking about anything conflicting. Guess they didn't either. Whole thing kind'of spooked me from tweaking my OS much after that. That's a one reason I haven't tried multiple partitions.
About the partitions and paging files. You said you had 2 paging files, 1 on each partition. I knew both my drives (raid plus my data backup) each had hidden system files section. So why does each partition need its' own paging files? If I don't access my drive D partition much; does this still slow down my system with its' default page file settings?
I can see and have known of the benefits of having seperate partitions, and configuring the OS onto a smaller independent partition, but I haven't really had that much space until recently. Nor did my drive D have much space left on it until recently. Well my previous RAID drives had the space, but for convience and data safety I kept everything on 1 RAIDed partition so I could do frequent backups of my entire RAID, and image or mirror them to my second, non-RAID HD, and this usually kept that HD pretty well full.
Just a couple weeks ago I had 1 of my RAID HDs going bad and I replaced both with the new Maxtor 8mb cache models. And since I then had a spare, I am now using it as drive D. And I now have a third HD, which used to be my mirror/image HD -- Drive D, which I now only mirror to and hook up to my system when I mirror it.
I guess this HD changeover really got me to thinking about my ram after I had to replace the HD that was going bad.
