Re: Page File on 2nd drive?

I've already moved all 7gb of My Documents over to the new drive. I'm sure
there are some other places, but that will take some time to find...
The Page file is so big - I thought that it would at least, free up a lot of
space....

If it won't impact the system speed, I guess my next question is to find out
how to move the Page file to a different drive...

anyone?
