My new laptop has a 120gig HD partitioned into a ~53gig C: drive, a ~53gig D: drive and a unknown 4.88gig partition. The C & D drives are formatted fat32. I just increased the size of the page file and moved it to the D: partition. This seems to have freed up the system somewhat, at least It feels as if it did. Apparently, XP has a utility to change a partition from fat32 to HPFS on the fly. Would this improve the performance of the the drive or should I leave it as is?
I'm considering buying another gig of memory and creating a ram drive for the page file. Anyone done this before? Comments?
