From: "Frank Haber" 

Data point: Every big OEM ships machines with the principal swapfile set
manually to 700-1500k for a 512MB machine (proportionally larger or smaller
for different amounts of shipped RAM).  I presume they know something about
swapfile thrashing, needless overhead expanding and shrinking the .SWP,
etc. I set my homemades the same way, on the theory that I have the space,
and why not just follow the leader blindly (g).

I run a number of old P4s with 30-40G system disks, plus 80-250G drive 1s. 
I always move the big swapfile to D:, and manually set a 20-40MB fixed
swapfile on C:, based on some old NT4/NTFS info I got once.  Does anyone
know whether this info is still valid, or just more fodder  for my Cargo
Cult approach to administration?
