Hi all,
I have a Athlon XP 2000+ machine with windoze XP and 256MB RAM.
Since 256 MB seems not to be enough for the hungry OS, I must live with a pagefile (virtual memory) bitting my disk :-)
So, I decided to create a extra partition for exclusive virtual memory use. This way, I prevent fragmentation on the system disk gaining some performance as you may already realized.
My big question is: Which filesystem should I use ?
I read somewhere that NT filesystem has more overhead than FAT32. And FAT32 in turn has more overhead than FAT.
For best performance should I use FAT ?
The partition is about 1GB, so FAT should handle it.
