Swap Space

[Kurt]

I have two physical disk drives. During memory intensive
tasks my system has very low CPU usage. I gueas this is
due to disk I/O contentention with normal disk access and
swapping space.
Question: How can I direct Win/XP to SWAP to the second
harddrive?

Kurt,

Did you try setting up a paging file on a partition on the second
harddrive?

Cheers,

set the virtual memory size from your xp drive to NO swap
file, and set 1.5 times of your physical memory size to
your other drive.
Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and
Maintenance, and then click System.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under
Performance.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Change under
Virtual memory.
Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains
the paging file you want to change.
Under Paging file size for selected drive, click Custom
size, type a new paging file size in megabytes (MB) in
the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, and then
click Set.
