shought Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 If you have +4GB of RAM and you're on XP (not Vista), you can disable the Page file.However, if you're a troubleshooter, leave at least 25MB of Page file for Kernel Memory Dump.I disabled my pagefile with 2 GB RAM and didn't encounter any problems until I started playing games :mellow:Oh, correct that, I just checked lolz, and I've still got my pagefile disabled, even when playing games, LOL! :P Me crazy ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizarre™ Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 2GB is not enough for XP and especially VISTA, since there are a lot of games which extracts game files from compressed files. The same can be said for memory intensive applications like Photoshop, AutoCAD, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marik Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 it should either be 1.5 of your ram or 3 at the most. But i only suggest you multiply it by 3 if you have over 2 gb ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 it should either be 1.5 of your ram or 3 at the most. But i only suggest you multiply it by 3 if you have over 2 gb ram...I recommend you set it to 512-1024 MB(so 768 would be a safe value in the middle, if you're running Vista 1024 is recommended(by me) and on XP I'd say 512 or 768 :sneaky:)Oh yeah, you should always set it to a fixed value(so min same as max), this way Windows won't be calculating the 'optimum size' all the time and writing it to the hard disk/deleting it again.
