Don't expect a noticeable improvement in your computer's performance by
using this technique. It's more of a geek thing. Not that there's anything
wrong about being a geek, of course.

I have Win XP SP2 Home with a 2.8 pentium. I have 512 mb ram and 2 160
hard
drives. The virtual memory on the main drive is set to windows managed
(don't
know if that is the best option). Should I also use virtual memory on the
second hard drive? I use the second drive to store video files - all
applications run from the main drive.
