You always need a swap file. Let it auto allocate. If you have more than one hard drive you might get some performance gain by splitting it amongst the drives.

Ok thx. Thats what im going with currently. Guess I will stick with it. Didnt really know because some where i read that if had enough ram then you could ditch the swap file for a performance boost. Its probably safer to stick with it.
