And if you really want to be geeky, just buy a crap ton of ram and don't have any swap at all.

If you consider that putting the swap on a different partition of the same drive is obviously not going to save you much speed since the drive head is going to be jumping all over the place; then in that sense yes, putting the swap on a different physical drive will enhance performance. But the benefits can be offset by a slow drive, an IDE drive on the same channel, etc. The biggests advantages to putting the swap on a different partition, IMO, are reduced system partition size, and reduced system partition fragmentation. But to be honest, while it's a cool geek thing to do, I don't bother. -Kevin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:137953 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
