Hi all,
I was reluctant to post this question to the list, so I started with a
private question to one of the learned members. He suggested that I post it
here and open it up to the usual debate on the topic. I am about to do away
with the combination IDE-SCSI system that I have now and go to all SCSI on
the HDDs at least at this point. CD-R will come later. I will have 2-4.5GB
U2W Cheetahs and one 4.5GB 7200 UW IBM drive. The IBM will be mostly used
for backing up or holding data. My question concerns the swap file size of a
windows portion as this will be dual boot to Win98SE and BeOS, and possibly
Linux down the road. For my Windows partitions, I would like to hear what
people have to say about setting up the swap file partition. I presently
have 64MB RAM. So listers, what do you suggest I make my swap file partition
size? Presently I have a 160MB D: on the one SCSI drive in the system (the
IBM). It boots off the IDE, C:. What would be the recommended size should I
go to 128MB?
Thanks.
