OK, in my new build I have:

- 2 Barracuda 7200.xx Hard Drives in AHCI/SATA mode (Non-RAID).
- 4GB of RAM

On drive C I've installed Windows XP.
On drive D I've installed Vista.
The XP Page File (512MB), I moved to the other drive D after I installed Vista there.
and...
Vista's Page File (512MB), I moved to the other drive C after I installed XP there.

So does anyone foresee see a problem with this page file set up?

THNX!

Your page file sizes seem a little low, but apart from that it's very sensible, as you have done, to locate the page file on a drive that isn't often used. That way the heads will have to move less.
