Virtual Memory - Multiple Physical Drives




I am trying to figure out what is the best configuration for virtual
memory. I have three hard drives, two internal, 1 external. The first
internal is split into 3 partitions, each with a drive letter. One of these
is C:, which windows xp home is installed on. The other internal drive and
the external have one partition/one drive letter.

Right now, the virtual memory rests on the first physical drive, on the
partition which C: resides. It is set to windows managed size.

Is this ok, or is there another train of thought here?

Why does windows give me an option to put virtual memory on *all* drives??
.
