And...other than the original tip of just increasing the size of one's Swap file, is the next best tip which is something you (Mysteral) are already doing.

Placing one's Swap file on a second, physical hard drive, (one that is not the same hard drive in which your Operating System is installed) will also help out with your performance a good deal as then the CPU could handle both any actions going on with the OS and the Swap/Virtual Memory at the same exact time.

One thing to look out for though! if you bought your computer "off the shelf", manufacturers LOVE (for some reason) to install ONE physical hard drive and then partition it to appear as TWO drives in the operating system (i.e.; inside of Windows explorer). In this case, it would not matter to place your swap drive on your "D" drive as it would be the same physical hard drive anyway.

Additionally, if using are considering using a USB thumb drive, you just want to make sure it just isn't a super slow one is all. :o)
