Man of Honour
I have a working 10GB HDD spare that I've put in an external caddy and use in a hopelessly disorganised manner for imaging my OS partition, just in case.
I was thinking about using it internally solely for a swapfile for WinXP.
Would the performance benefit of having my swapfile on a different drive offset the performance loss of having it on a much slower drive?
My main drive is SATA. This old drive is IDE and I'd have it as the only drive on a cable.
Opinions welcome.
