Different disk for pagefile?

[ignitionxvi]

Hey Guys,

I have an older 5400RPM ATA33 hard drive that i'm not using. If i hooked that up to use for page file instead of using my main hard drive, would it help performance any or would it hurt? I would also use it for photoshop/inventor scratch space. Thanks

Don't put a page file on a slow drive like that, it will probably hurt more than it will help.
