More mainstream . . .

I think I would go get the 10gb drive and use it for drive 0 and partition it for all your regular 
stuff.  Put the 400 in as drive 1 and make it the swap file and DON'T put anything else on it. 

Be sure to strap yourself into your chair because the machine will ROCK!  One of the biggest 
slowdowns is drive contention - when the system is trying to load from disk and use swap file 
storage at the same time on the same drive.
