After a reading of ARP's "Virtual Memory Optimization Guide" I have a question about the advantages or disadvantages of 2 permanent and contiguous paging files on 2 seperate HDs.
I understand from my interpretation that 2 permanent and contiguous pagefiles on seperate HDs would be better than 1 if you had 3 HDs. But what I am asking is do I want to only have only 1 pagefile on the first partition of my secondary SATA HD and leave the Primary HD without a paging file so the OS has access to the outter tracks. Here is the page where I am finding difficulty in interpreting what would be best to do in my situation. I am thinking that I will want to have the pagefile on the secondary drive, but I don't have enough experience myself to know if this is correct or not.
I guess it should be mentioned also that my primary OS drive is a 74g Raptor and my secondary would be a 40g Caviar.
