Thanks for the reply, but that did not help me. The page you recommended is
a good page for learning what a paging file is, how it works, and gives tips
to the reader, but does not answer my question.
Will Windows XP (Pro) work better if there were TWO paging files, running
simultaneously on two different drives, instead of just one?
The idea is, if Windows works better using ONE paging file, why not TWO
paging files for a performance boost? (Like Twin Turbo in a car, versus
Single Turbo. Twin Turbo is much faster.) In theory, two paging files should
work better then one, but will it help Windows any? Thanks again.
