| 157490 | 2003-07-10 12:20:00 | Thanks for all you advice... PoWa what do you mean by having separate partition for Windows Swap file. What are swap files??? | Annanz (3044) | ||
| 157491 | 2003-07-10 16:23:00 | Hi, damn its late - oh well I can't get to sleep. Have a read of these pages: Set your swap file (pcworld.co.nz) Speed up with partitions (pcworld.co.nz) Keep a stable swap file (pcworld.co.nz) Hopefully after reading those pages you'll be much more educated on the swap file, and will have a faster computer :) |

| 157492 | 2003-07-10 23:58:00 | if you are going to do a partition for the swap file then it really should go like this- 1) 500Mb-1Gb partition for windows swap file. z 2) 5gig-10gig Partition for Windows and critical programs. c 3) XXGb partition for programs etc. d 4)XXGb partition for random stuff e 5) XXGb if needed depending on drive size. |

| 157493 | 2003-07-11 01:08:00 | Are you saying that the swap file should be at the very very beginning of the drive? And not the OS? | PoWa (203) | ||
| 157494 | 2003-07-11 01:50:00 | exactly :) put the swapfile on the fastest part possible. the pc will run much quicker than having the swapfile 5-10Gb's down the disk. |
