Am I chasing a BAD idea...?
Whilst cruzin around the web, I came across an article that seemed odd to me.
It suggested that to get more "Punch" ie Speed outa your system, move your swap files over to another drive...? I'm no techie by a long shot, so I was wondering if this is a good idea for me to try out. I presently run a Asus P7P55D MoBo, i5 750 LGA 1156 2.67gb 8mb cache, 8mb Ram, 5770 Vid card, 120gb SSD drive as main, and a Seagate 500gb 'E' Drive for other files. The OS is on the SSD drive. My Windows Experience rating is at 7.3 because of the processor which I'd like to updrade. All the other specs are at 7.4 or 7.7, so the i5 is dragging it down.
I do NOT know the details of what the swap files really do. Suffice it to say, I want to get as close to a full Windows Rating as I can, but it seemed strange to move something away from the SSD, which is supposed to speed things up, and have the OS go hunting for these files from a SLOWER drive...??! Am I making myself clear...?
Any thoughts/suggestions for this 'ol fart will be MUCH appreciated...!!
