Paging File Question
Looks a good article... will have a read later when I'm not under the afluence of incohol like I am at the mo ;-) Page file is one complicated area but I would rather my PC/application crash through my (maybe incorrect) settings than have the PC deceive me and continue to use PF after I explicitly disabled it.

Pagefile question
NT configures the PAGEFILE.SYS as physical RAM+11 during installation. The recommended settings from MS are as follows: MIN=Physical RAM+12 IE:64+12=76 MAX=Phsical RAM*2.5 IE:64*2.5=160 Straight from the book. Besides that being wrong....where did you learn to add? 64+11=75 NOT 73 ????? mms Peg1126 wrote in message

PAGE File Question...can this be done
I wonder what % of the partition / drive free disk space will represent after setting a page file size. Is there a secondary issue on Zach's machine? I think his numbers sound about right 1 GB is 1024 MB x 3 x 1.5 = 4608 MB. I don't think there is necesarily a problem with his machine. That sounds like a per-swap

Pagefile.sys question
By moving the pagefile to a different partition, you are moving it *further* from data that is used from time-to-time (like dll's and exe's). Leaving the pagefile on the boot partition can have some bad effects. In Win2K, I don't believe the system defragger could move around the pagefile, meaning that once it was

In other words a fixed size pagefile. 3. the pagefile size should not be set at more than twice the physical mem.

Question from New User - Default Home Page File Name
Make sure that any page file you use is on a separate hard drive to your os and also any work files and that should also be a great improvement.

Page file Question
I changed the swap file so that it was around 20 megs in size. I figured that with the amount of RAM that the system had, a large swap file wouldn't be necessary. However, after just running a couple of apps, I got the error wanting me to increase my page file size. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Page File Size Question
While I think that Richard means that *if* you want to use your page file as a dump file as well, *then* the page file must be on the system disk, No, what he means is that your primary paging file must reside on your system disk.
