That was the case with Win9x/ME. With NT-based systems such as 2000, XP, 2003, the swap file is called pagefile.sys and there can be one per disk partition.
There is an article on optimising XP's virtual memory performance athttp://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/...es/03june16.asp, which includes having multiple pagefiles on multiple hard disks (though not for the reason I mentioned above).

Just read the link (and the link from the link - about optimizing XP) and it says not to put
mulitple swap files on different partitions of the same physical drive. But do you think it would be best to have a diff. partition for the swap still? Then i spose u could defrag that individual drive and therefore just the swap without defragging eveything....also the default swap size is 1.5 x physical RAM and the max is 3X - i have 1GB ram and don't really want a 3GB partition jsut for a swap which would probably not get used fully most of the time - so do you think it would be worth reducing standard and max sizes??
Cheers
EDIT: Just read last two posts and therfore probably won't bother with seperate partition for swap...cheers
