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.

With the speed of modern HD's it would not be noticeable, unless you can see
milliseconds.

The physical movement of the heads back and forth is what causes the hit, to
say nothing of unnecessary additional wear.

I failed to add the wear factor, as Tom pointed out.

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.

Have a good one, JAX

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.

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

Moving the pagefile is the first thing I do on every system I install. In
