Status : Online		Swap file is virtual memory. If the system runs out of physical memory, it will "swap out" not-recently-used memory pages to disk and read them back later if it needs to. This of course kills performance but it allows you to run applications or sets of applications that require more memory than is physically available in your machine.

On XP the swap file might be in a different location than where it used to be on 95.
