Bendo, what you hear is partially correct. It is believed that if you partition a hard drive in to 2 and only use the 2nd partition for the windows swap file then you can get some increase in performance how much I don't know. I partition my hard drives for convenience so I know where certain things are for instance all things to do with flight are on my F partition. I currently have 3 hard drives divided in 6 partitions, until tomorrow as a new one is arriving, 30gb primarily for video editing.
