i currently have windows xp x64 installed on 2x160GB SATA hard drives in a RAID 0 configuration.

what's the best approach for setting up the pagefile in terms of performance and optimization given the following options:

- keep the pagefile on the RAID 0 configuration
- add a separate SATA hard drive for the pagefile to the same SATA controller that the RAID 0 setup resides on
- add a separate SATA hard drive for the pagefile to a separate SATA controller

thanks for any suggestions.
