Which, IF your drive is faster AND your card is bootable, will give you a significant boost. Just moving the swap over will help a little if your primary drive is cramped, but enough ram will make the swap file location ALMOST moot. Since you are running a Sawtooth and probably going to stick with 10.4, you probably do not need to worry about an Apple update making the card unbootable. That is why I still have the 120GB drives on the main IDE channel.
