Dedicating a partition to the page file prevents it from being
fragmented, which in turn improves a computer's performance.

On paper.

In the real world, and especially with today's faster hardware, you
won't notice any difference at all. As in: zero.

My question is: Would setting up another partition dedicated for
the page file only be worth the effort or do I run the risk of
creating more problems than necessary?
