Mr. Digital...
Here's an idea

What if I were to partition off a small section of my new 200gig wd sata3g drive in the first sectors... Put the swap file in there?

raptor = 1 Win XP
raptor = 2 game
wd2000 = swap file

yeah... I know, this is getting nit picky, but just for sake of discussion
I've heard that if you make a partition near the "beginning" of the disk it makes for a fast swap file...
