sorry. i already have two cdroms on that channel. it get's really complicated if i move a cdrom and a hard drive onto the same channel. not hardware-wise, but organizationally it looks grim (look out, huge, meaningless words!!!). which hard drive will i be burning from the most, which hard drive will i be installing to the most, things like that. the current arrangement keeps things simple. i'll probably end up ditching both of those drives when i get a new motherboard. i'm planning on a dual t-bird system when tax returns come in and that'll probably mean an ATA100 IDE bus. upgrade opportunities galore. > If you ever have more than one process paging heavily, then you should > get lower seek latencies with two swap disks on the same IDE. ok. i'll give it a try then. thanks for the suggestion. > > it'd probably run just fine on 10mb of swap > > Well, yeah...
