 As mentioned before, this is how virtual memory works. This is normal, 
and will increase performance, not hurt it. 
  What graphics chipset are you using? Are you using the correct graphics driver? 
If you're using nVidia graphics, the standard driver in FC1 is quite slow.

  You may be talking about Samba. It allows you to connect to Windows file shares.
Maybe someone with more experience can comment, or you can search the archives.
