Virtual RAM
Hey guys,
I have two drives in Windows 2000, C and D. Drive C is setup to have 768MB. D is nothing, should I assign D something? TIA. |

I mgiht be wrong but I think it wont increase performance unless you do it on a drive that has an o/s on it.

I hear that I won't get any performance out of it unless I have a 2nd hard drive on the secondary IDE controller, not on the primary IDE controller.

what did you set for your 2nd partition? But the article says that to put it on a partition with no OS data or data files, and the 2nd partition does have data on it.

I've been using the XP version of that guide on 3 of my machines and 2 customer's for 3-9 months and it seems to work great. My "page file" partition is 3 times my total ram and has nothing else on it. If you want to make changes to a system that already has an OS and data on it, think you need to use Partition Magic.

as panama red says the best option is to use partition magic and make a 2gb partition on your d drive and put it in that.
you can allso put it in the d drive with out partitioning as 2k and xp will use the least used drive any way. |
