Aaron Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Yes, it would help keeping the pagefile on a seperate local hard drive, but do you have a spare IDE Channel slot on your mobo/disk controller to support your 3.2GB Maxtor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rstryker Posted July 21, 2002 Author Share Posted July 21, 2002 yes... these 3 drives are on a onboard promise 100 controller...i will probably put the 3.2 on it as well.my 2 CD-RW, and DVD-Rom are on the motherboards standard controller.should i have seperate swap files for winXP and win 98?i could put 2 3.2 drives in, which would take up all my ide channels, or split the 3.2 into 2 partitions.
