    Page file on my D: drive

    will it hurt my perfomance to move my windowsXP pro page file to my D: drive? My c drive is a pair of raided Raptors and i have been trying to keep it as clean as possible.

    Keep it on the same partition with where your windows is running... I dont like teh idea of windows copying it around because it most likely will degrade performance...

    Put it on the fastest drive. Set Min/Max the same, then it won't fragment.

    In general, you want to distribute your paging activity to as many drives as possible, and give higher priority to the faster drives.

    The only exception is if you know that certain filesystem activity will cause paging activity, then you want to page to the disk that the filesystem activity is not on.

    You could search till the day is old ,and you will always find that if you have more than 1 H/D the fastest one is the one ,and also just like the rest Min/Max
    be the same ..And if you can doit ,Operating System only on one drive .
