I recently purchased a 250 GB external hard drive for my laptop. After this PURCHASE, I decided to change virtual memory settings to best accomodate dual hard drives. I have 512 mb RAM and I set the minimum virtual memory to evenly distribute to 752 (376 per drive). I have an IBM think pad T42 laptop. However after configuring this the total paging memory was stated to be 376 mb. Regardless of what drive I use the total paging memory is only stated as the virtual memory USED for the drive with the highest virtual memory set to it. Is there a reason for this, is only one of my drives being used as virtual memory?

any HELP is much appreciated. I dont know if this helps any but have a look ...
http://www.tweakhound.com/xp/virtualmemory.htmactually I figured it out but thanks. I thought I could create a virtual memory file for my NEW external hard drive but I guess I can't. It seems you can't make these files for USB external hard drives. Just an afterthought but you should set the min and max to the same size...768.
