Look where it's at now.

You might also benefit of asking your question in the "Storage" group.

If you're in 2k, and presumeably XP, right click on My Computer, go to properties. In the advanced tab there should be a performance options button. Click on that, and the rest is pretty much self explanitory. BTW. Basic performance tip. If you have 2 harddrives, (Actual harddrives, not partitions) in your computer, set your swap file to be on the harddrive that does not contain your Windows install.

actually what i have heard is even better is to split the swap file accross both partitions. I dont know if there is any real benifit from this, but it makes sence.
