| 189528 | 2003-11-06 05:39:00 | There's good point to the organisational advantages of partitioning. I find that Partition Magic works fine (version 8 for XP, 7 messes with it), it's quick, controllable, adjustable and understandable. The best reason for partitioning that I know of is to set a small partition solely for your pagefile. Set your pagefile to a fixed size (1.5 x RAM) on this partition and you'll notice a substantial paerformance improvement. (I have 1GB RAM, so 2GB partition with pagefile set at 1.5GB). Then, to keep it "out of sight out of mind", I tell Windoze to hide the drive letter. |
