Hello all,

I always love to find new ways on making Windows as fast as possible. I have always known about the swap file and how important it is. Since that it is still summer for me and I have a few more weeks until I go back to College I want to try something different this time when it comes to harddrives and partitioning. What I am going to do is this:

1. Have a harddrive that has just the Windows XP OS on it, nothing else
2. Have another harddrive that has the page file and some backup files such as college papers, updates, etc. (I plan on making the pagefile as soon as I create the partition for this
3. And have another harddrive for my games and programs/applications.

My intentions are to have a computer that will run XP as fast as possible but allow me to reinstall it without losing my info. In my thinking it will do this:

1. Windows will start up quick and effieciently all the time.
2. IF I EVER need to reinstall windows, I will safe the time in needing to backup my files or losing them.
3. Increase organization and preformance. (I have OCD )

Do you think this is a good strategy? Any inputs?
