Tommy Trauma Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 Should'nt it be on a seperate partition too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vega27 Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 with 2GB of memory, you shouldn't ever need a pagefile. i would turn it off or set it manually to custom min=0, max=0 and be done with it. it should be fine unless you get a BSOD regarding virtual memory. IF that ever happen, set pagefile min and max sizes to the same size (whatever winblows recommends), on a separate DISK from the OS. that way, when windows reads/writes to it, you have one disk reading while the other writes instead of one disk doing both.
