It is possible to run XP on that size partition, with that much free space, I've done it but, it is too complicated for most users to keep it running that way.

Moving the page file to a different partition on the same HD causes a
performance hit due to the fact the head is constantly moving back and forth to write to/read from it. JAX "Battleax" wrote in message ... "JAX" wrote in message ...

The physical movement of the heads back and forth is what causes the hit, to
say nothing of unnecessary additional wear. Tom Swift "Testy" wrote in message ... With the speed of modern HD's it would not be noticeable, unless you can see milliseconds.

Hi Tom,
Are you using one of the computers at the library? I use the one at the office in my apartment complex. I think it is faster than the one at the local library. I'm not sure though cause I don't got no millisecond meter. Do you know where I can get one of them? This must be the case with both of us,.....in someone's narrow mind.

And where might I be wrong? As I have stated after 15+ years and more than
350 install I have never had a HD failure due to moving the pagefile. Grow up a little then come back and talk. Testy "JAX" wrote in message ... You must be a very "sad" person then!!

How can you possibly determine, for sure, that unnecessary reader movement
was not a factor in HD failure. Or, come to think of it, have you never had one fail?...Right JAX "Testy" wrote in message ... Moving the pagefile is the first thing I do on every system I install.
