I will def. use a seperate partition for WinXP, but you guys seem to be unsure as to whether i should use a seperate swap partition....so what should i do...?
Definately put it on its own partition, you've got nothing to lose by doing it and probably performance gains

From what I've read, the best swap file set-up is to split the swap file (not possible in windows?) across all of the disks and make sure that they are located on the outside track of the disks.
