That small dedicated drive for the swap file has been in my thoughts, so you are right on.

I have a combination attitude with this sys: Total Risk combined with Ultra Conservative.

Ultra conservative in that I store NOTHING on it. As soon as something valuable is created it gets backed up to and external firewire (which is in turn backed up to DVD and taken off site.)

Total Risk in that I have a 'ghost' of the setup with installed apps (plus all apps on install CDs) so anytime I want to 'go agressive' I only weigh the downside of reinstalling the ghost if Terrible Things happen!

Thanks Bob.
