How do you setup a swapile?

[Rossier]

I have already fdisked, formatted, and created a partition D:\ to be used only as a swapfile for 95b. It has 600 meg capacity. I am running at least 128mem, most of the time I have 256megs of Enh Sys Mem which is PC-133. I really like this product. Much better than the Mushkin stuff. With it I took a celery and went to 450, then 464. Next it was 504, then 518 in the 112bus. I took a break after that. Later I went into 117x4.5, with it running about 10min on QII Demo Continously. Then it blue screened me. Happy, Happy, Happy!!!

If you'd like to have your swapfile on D then go to Control Panel->System->preformance->virtual memory and do "let me specify"

Rossier, you might want to check out the recommendations on this site. When you go there, go to "speed demonz page." I think the swap file info is the first selection.

They explain why using a "dedicated" partition or different hard drive for the win swap file is counter-productive.

As with all performance issues, the decision is ultimately yours, but what they say makes sense to me.

Good luck in all...
