I have a doubt a little old: the position of the pagefile (swap) in the partition influence on the system performance? in the C: drive (about 11GB the swap was in the beginning of the partition) after an offline defrag with O&O defrag (last version) the swap was moved to the middle-end of the partition, I think its not possible put at the beginning again... the question is basically this: something changed in the performance? my partition now: http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/9793/20074336pa7.png
