Jonathan I would follow Richard's advice. Drives are inexpensive and you can always use another one. If your system can take it, and most will, add a third hard drive, partition it and dedicate the first partition to the paging file (use the second partition for archiving). Put the bulk of the paging file on it and the minimum on the C drive. I'm no technohead but I think putting the paging file on the same drive as the OS, even if it is a different partition, is not as good an idea as putting it on a dedicated hard drive. It will stop it from being fragmented but the seek times will be slower. Happy to be corrected...
