    Hi All,
    I wasust wonder....I have an Inspiron 8200 with has (2) 60 gig 7200 RPM hards drives in it.

    My question is where the best place to put the Windows Paging file and the Photoshop scratch disk ???

    Both on the 2nd drive in seperate partitions

    Paging file on 2nd drive in it's own partition and Photoshop scratch disk on main drive

    Any suggestions to increase performance would be most helpful...thanks...shkj
