If you have enough space (which you do... damn, I wish laptops had drives that big!), I would recommend just letting programs install on the C drive by default. Keeps things nice and organized. A swap space (pagefile) partition should be about 3 GB, for error room, and is definitely a good idea.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Actually, the pagefile is what the system uses when it runs out of RAM, She Loves Piano. So, it isn't really necessary to have it any bigger than ~3 GBs. It's just slightly faster than loading everything one-by-one in the CPU if you run out of RAM.

(And I wish I could have a 250 Gig hard drive. The highest one with my connectors is 160 ).

There's nowhere I can't reach.
