Arg...i Can't seem to find a program that would defrag /and/or move the pagefile to the outer track of my hard drive. Any ideas or suggestions?

You can use Diskeeper 7.0 to defragment the Pagefile (By using the boot-time defragmenter), but it won't move it to the outer track.

If I remember right Norton Utilities Speed Disk will allow you to defrag the pagefile and put it at the end. I hate the defragger because it always seemed to slow my system down afterwards instead of speed it up, but I think it will do what you're looking for.

If you're paging enough that moving the pagefile to the outter tracks makes a noticable speed difference, you need more memory.
