I seem to remember something about there was a limitation in that you had to have
linux booting off one of the first two drive but that may no longer be true. I would
recommend reading the howto and man pages for lilo.
You would see improved performance with the swap on a different drive because the same
drive would not be trying to do two things at once, i.e. read from your /home
partition and your swap partition.

Wow, thanks for all the help! I can't wait to get to tinkering around in
the innards of my computer!
I must confess, I am a bit confused about why swap partitons on opposite
drives would boost performance.
And I shouldn't have any LILO issues if they are each a master, correct?
Thanks again, everyone!
Kathleen
