Yo...

I might dual-boot Win2k and XP, and I guess if I do this they can share a swap file? The OSes would be on a Quantum 30GB Fireball Plus LM. I also have a 850MB Maxtor (5400RPM??) that i could hook up and use it for swap file only. if i did this would i get better performance than just using the swap file on a separate partition on the Quantum?
