How to move paging file to another physical hdd in Win7
Hi,
i have 4gb ram and 2 hard drives on my computer, one is 10000rpm 32GB velociraptor used as a system disk and second is 7200rpm WD 500gb! I want to move paging file to the second disc because of low space on system drive! I know how to do that but i want to know the correct way of doing this! Because some resources claims that it is good to keep around 1GB on the OS drive because Windows needs still some pagefile space on the OS drive i.e. here:

somwhere i've read to left the minimum paging file on the system drive which is i mean 16mb and some resources claims that the correct way is to disable absolutely paging on the system drive and move it whole to the second physicial drive i.e. here:

So which one of these ways are most correct? If i disable completely paging on the system drive it will not be a significant performance hit? How it is with paging in Win7 x64? What is your opinion and why it so? And finally :) how big static size of page file i have to set?
I am aware of that i probably lower performance by moving page file from faster system drive to slower!
Many thanks for answers!
