Get a 4GB flash drive, install it "permanently," and put the swap file on it. Use it all for the swap file. For that portion of the swap file, set the min and max sizes of the swap file to be the size of the whole drive (as much as Windows will allow, which is a few megabytes less than all of it). Keep some swap file on the installed hard drive, and set its minimum size as low as possible. Then, early use of the swap file should default to the flash drive, but there is swap file available if the flash drive should fail or become accidentally removed.
