I stuck a 4GB Ultra33 onto the second channel of my Promise Ultra66 controller. I se the swap file settings to 2046 and 2047 and with 256MB of ram it never slows down.
IDE0 8GB Ultra33 OS, LS-120
IDE1 Creative 5X DVD, 4/8X CD-r
IDE2 20GB Ultra66 Data Drive
IDE3 4GB Ultra33 Swap File, Zip 250
I'll be upgradiding the 8GB Ultra33 to an ultra66 7200rpm for greater performance. I forgot this for a second, but use the drive with the fastest seek and access times as any minor dely while waiting for a swapped piece of memory is just that much more minimal.
It was really fun when I installed Linux, partitioned the 4GB in half, and both operating systems had their swap files on the same drive.
