366mHz Celeron Processor
160 MB of Ram

While the processor is low spec, it still runs pretty smooth until the swap file maxes out the HD space.

Thanks again!

For your amount of RAM, about 400 MB for a fixed size swapfile should be fine. One thing that helps with performance is to defrag with something that can move your swapfile (e.g., Norton Utilities defragger, NOT the default windows defragger). It should put your swap into one continguous block for better performance.
