Using Disk Express II and Virtual would be bad if you optimized the swapfile
while using virtual.  You could however, partition your hard drive and
have one partition for your swapfile only (this may slightly reduce your
swapping speed though).

From personal experience-I tried using DiskExpress II and Virtual (with the
swap file on another partition) and may computer froze.  No damage was done,
but it was obvious that there were going to be some problems although I
haven't called either software company to discuss the problem.
