On http://lowendmac.com/eubanks/07/0312.html I read "...Mac OS X...uses the free space on your hard drive as "virtual memory", and it depends heavily on that virtual memory to run efficiently."
I have Leopard installed on a 50gb partition of my 250gb hard drive that I use exclusively for Leopard and applications. It has 27.95gb available.
If the quote is correct I assume that Mac OS X uses ONLY the free space on the 50gb drive partition where Leopard is installed as "virtual memory". Is there a simple way to designate/change which partition Mac OS X uses for "virtual memory" irrespective of what partition Leopard is installed on?
note: Changing partition size is not a suggestion I need.
