Switch Swap Disk

I have a 733 QS with the 40GB HD partitioned into a 5 and a 35 (give or take due to footprints)



When i'm working in photoshop or playing games, since the 5GB drive is getting pretty full, it either runs super slow or gives errors. Is there any way to tell OS X to use the other partition instead of the startup disk?



...if photoshop is smart enough to use a different disk, OS X should be able to

    First off, in the Photoshop prefs you can change the volume it uses for scratch disks.



    Second, go to <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com/"; target="_blank">http://www.versiontracker.com/</a>; and search for 'swap.' A couple of tools to move the swap file will show up.
