subject: Re: multiple swap files?

From: "Frank Haber" 

1. I guess I wasn't clear.  The OEM trick is to set, say, 768k min, 1532k
max. Doesn't seem to get fragged much; rarely even gets used unless the
user goes crazy with 80MB Pshop images, or a program goes ape.

2. I understand the move, delete, defrag thing - cleans up the swapfile and
puts it in 1-3 pieces, if you trust the dfrg.msc display.  I even dimly
understand the fixed swapfile recommendation - hey, works for you.  Are you
telling me to put this big fixed thing on all physical drives?  Please
expand.

(I just realized I'm talking academic, which I'm not.  "Windows
corrupts.  All Windows corrupts absolutely.  Discuss.")
