The swap file (pagefile.sys) can be on any partition on any internal hard
drive.

Whether it really speeds up the PC yto have it on a second hard drive
depends on how much you use the swap file. If you have enough RAM, the is
almost no need for a swap file, and even the slowest RAM is a lot faster
than than any hard drive.

However, if you want to "move" it, do NOT use copy&past; that will not work.
Instead, use MyComputer, properties, advanced, performance, settings,
advanced, virtual memory, change. Then set the amount of swap space on each
partition. To "remove" it from C:, highlight C: and then click "no paging
file" near the bottom of the window. Click "set" to apply that change. To
add it to some other partition, highlight that partition and set a finite
min and max size. Click "set" to aplly the change. I suggest that you set
the min and max to the same number, as this prevent fragmentation of the
pagefile. Then, close the windows, and reboot.

Just heard an interesting suggestion I've not seen/heard before -

If a pc has two physical hdd's - transfer the "swap" file from C: to the
2nd HDD - this speeds up a pc.

Anyone know of this - and, does it work? If so, How does one transfer the
swap file ?
