John, u shouldn't put the swap file on the same hard driveon a different partition, it won't make any performance change, simply because the information is still travelling through the same IDE cable, if u bought 1.5 or 2.0 gig drive and put that on ur second IDE cable and slaved it under ur cd/cdrw/dvd or what ever u might have there and followed the steps in this link http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article07-035 u shouldnt have a problem, otherwise dont bother just moving the swap file to another partion on the same drive, u wont see a performance change Carel
