    I have read that SSD's will be useful coming up soon because the Windows swap file can be stuck on it and accessed quicker than on a HDD.

    Where is the swap file located by default? Can I physically find it and move it? Any information on the subject of paging/swap file and how to optimize it are appreciated.
