Hi Sean, I am a bit confused. Are you saying that you can assign a
partition solely for virtual memory?
I HAVE MY DRIVE partitioned as follows:
Local disk C, 40 gig
All system & program files
Local disk F, 200 gig
all data
backup G, 10 gig

What should I consider doing different that would make jfw perform better?
Always looking for an edge...Keith
