I note that some have had success in changing paging file settings to overcome the poor frame rates. I note that in XP Home, that each HD partition (I have about 10) has an option of having it's own pagefile setting. My only pagefile setting is on H:. whereas FS is on E:, and the OS (XP) on C:. Should I allow some paging on the HD that I use FS on (E:) as well as my existing partition. Note- that I had disabled page filing on all other partitions other then the one that I created especially for this purpose (H:).Thanks,Bruce.

There's some debate among the gurus as to whether split paging files across partitions of a hard disk helps any. (My own feel is that any advantage is washed out by the greater overhead of managing the thing.) But give it a try!What would certainly help is a second physical hard drive, installed as primary on your second ATA controller (not secondary on the same controller as your existing drive), and separating the highly active folders from the page file so they're on different drives. (Was that clear?)My own system has two WD 120Gb special edition hard drives set up as described, and I have severe frame rate problems with the 737TNG, not because of how the page file is set up, but because there comes a point where the memory demands of the application so far exceed the real memory available that no amount of fiddling with the page file will help much. My only solution, as thing stand, is an extra 512 of memory and SWMBO is unlikely to allow that right now. :-(- Pete
