If you've got two Hard disks on seperate IDE channels (hd1 and hd2), if Windows is on HD1, put the pagefile on HD2 and vice-versa.
Alternatively, install linux (I recommend Mandrake/Mandriva for linux newbies (available on the front of this month's Linux format here in the UK)), open-office (now fully compatable with MS products) and Firefox/Thunderbird for internet access and email. A system like this is easy to install, (mandriva will probably install all of this software for you!), will reduce the chances of viruses attacking your system (there's no real threat under linux!) and will automatically prevent spyware, pop-ups and most other nastys that affect MS only systems.
If you don't want to install linux, but are interested in playing with it, check out ubuntu or knoppix, both of which will run from the CD.
All of this software is free (legally, not "free" from a mate at the market!), most of it is developed by or includes code from renowned commercial companies and is stable.
