I think he's got the right idea. The drive may be slower, but it won't be doing anything else, so swap requests won't have to wait for other reads/writes to complete and other reads/writes won't be interrupted by the heads getting dragged off to another section of disk. ================================================== Until I can get the new disk (a few months) the old one will perform as the installed disk and swap. However, the older one I think can be dedicated to swap once the new one (I've got my eye on an 80GB HDD) is installed. Also, I will need at least a dual boot computer. I remember software came with linux for this, and I want it so I can play games and do Newsletter work. Linux also has a tool so I can repartition the old disk so I don't lose it's current data, as I understood it, so I can use it for DOS in the near future. Anyway, I can always use Interlnk and Intersvr to backup my data on an even older computer. Speaking of which, is there a way to build a Linux Terminal on a 386 with only 60MB HDD? ->Scwawcaac<- ================================================== -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
