Honestly; I'm far happier with XP than I ever was with ME. The purpose of the scratch file is temporary storage when RAM is needed for more urgent tasks. I have 1 Gb of memory in the system, and the only time I have noticed PS using the scratch file extensively is when I had 2 full resolution MedF scans open at the same time (each file is a 200 Mb .TIF on disk).
