Tomorrow I'll be putting together a new build, pertinent info:
E8400
4GB DDR2 800
2GB USB flash drive for ReadyBoost
HD 4850
HDD #1: Raptor 74GB 10000rpm - the OS (Vista Home Premium x64) will be on this
HDD #2: WD 500GB 7200rpm drive (For Data)
My question: should I have the swap file on the faster Raptor drive, or the slower, non-OS HDD? I know that, all things being equal, it's best to put the swap file on a different physical drive than the OS, so that I/O isn't happening on the same drive, but I'm wondering if the faster speeds of the Raptor change this logic? Thanks
