hard drives and virtual memory

[Race]

I have two hard drives installed on my machine.....the first (Drive C)has no partisions and contains the OS (XP). This drive has a paging file (fixed). The second hard drive has two partisions (Drive F and G)and no paging file. Should I have one on this second drive, or does XP use the system drive PF for both hard drives? If I do need a PF on the second drive, should I have one for each partision?
Thanks for any advice....

Hard drive partisions don't require thier own Page File. You only need one page file for your os to handle memory overflow from your RAM (basically).

The only time it would be advisable to move your page file to another partision is if you are always doing a lot of work on your system drive and require more effeciency. In order for it to be truely usefull, just another partition won't do. You need to put it on to a completely different drive to free up your drives "bandwidth." However, a drive on a different controller is better altogether. Scarecrow
