Paging File Tip
One way to speed up your Windows NT system is to place the paging file on some disk other than the system disk. The reason this results in faster operation is that the system files are accessed very frequently and so is the paging file. If you place the paging file on a different disk, you split up the work a bit. You'll see an even greater speed increase if your system has a separate controller for each drive. And you'll see still more improvement if your controller can perform simultaneous reads and writes.
