deleting the page file will gain u back the disk space

if you really wish 2 configure page file, use another disk drive which doesnt have high read or writes to it constantly, preferably another drive letter and drive partition (non windows partition)

i used 2 create a D: drive specifically for page file, with 2GB of space for it however soon i scrapped the idea because i bought more physical RAM. (at that time i only had 512mb)

what screws me over is that page file doesnt neccesarily speed up applications , according 2 some read ups i did last time

page file was created 10 years ago for the purpose of low RAM however when RAM price dropped, page file soon became useless. disabling it soon became the way to go , mostly

it still remains for BSOD logs and MS suggests u keep it on but i wouldnt, i dont send BSOD logs to MS

in customer environments & datacentres , i only turn it on when MS asks me to turn it on for BSOD logs

cheers!

@edmin, on temp, NOPE, i dun plan 2 reduce or do anything with it... im fine because most the time, im not at home and when im at home, i have the aircond on

@Edmin & Jcsy

So the conclusion is, pagefile dont really boost up the overall performance but (at least) it helps on logging down errors that cause by BSOD for the ease of debugging right?

@Mooneyes

What a big lost there man.. Pity.. 30 -er pair? Its a dirt price man!

512X2 ddr400 for just rm30 ?? That's dirt cheap.

aha just t a winning strike look alike lah, someone gave me the old and no more value to the owner... 1gb Kingston DDR400 for free!, a working ram which can be resell easily at RM100+ here at my place in melaka. There he goes into my desktop.... my preciousssss

@powerwoot, you earned the RAM for free.The guy is so good giving you for free.

well 90% yes

at least know what its for, just in case

free RAM is like.. free sex , haha its great

@Jcsy,why i can't feel it? 1Gb more RAM is giving a lot of boost on the system,expecting more applications to be opened at the same time.

your computer feels it, not u

hahaha

regret that i book from another guy but a promise is a promise..dun wanna the guy say me FFK him

Telling you, here in melaka DDR1 is like gold for some ppl who really need it. The 1gb DDR1 brand new unit from winnova is RM200+, not to mention the price from the well known brands. The used unit may reach about more than RM150 to 200, SDRAM PC133 256mb is about RM150. And I am getting a free.... btw, not from a guy but from a 'janda muda', she run a small cyber cafe.

jcsy, it's true getting a free 1gb working ram is like getting a free sex, I am getting free seems like I had sex for about 24 hrs continuously until my knees cannot be straighten anymore

wah lao...so excited everyone on RAM issue? erm... me on 8gb overdose...lol

fuyoo, 8gb is a really monstrous with big punching power for a desktop you got there man. btw are you running a supercomputer?

@ed
wahaha.... your ram size is overkill a bit. lolz... for sure you will use it once more games/programs have bigger stomach next time.

mine only half of yours. haha... no room for upgrade already.

btw, disabled pagefile last night. seems hdd really not much read/write that much like you said. play UT3 so far no issue. well... will report in once got any update. so far so good now.

no where near 1 % of a super computer also , hahaha

super computer is Z series, mainframes that we malaysia dun even get 2 see

free sex , lol

@Jcsy,oh the system can feel only.Haha.

@powerwoot, the DDR1 price can sell good in Melaka? I have 2 pieces of Infineon DDR333 256MB keeping in store. Anyone from there wants to grab it?It's a BT6 chipset from Infineon.

@kabu,disable the paging file really help that much? My concern is if i allocated some RAM for paging file,my physical RAM amount will be lesser already.

@kabu,
remember to delete the pagefile.sys from C drive, it is a hidden system file.

@powerwoot,
nowhere near supercomputer level. my quaddie only able to chew out 44 gigaflops after overclocking while the supercomputer kills with 128 gigaflops, lol. massive ram for my work, photoedits.

@ray,
that's the whole idea, push more data into RAM instead of HDD if your RAM sapce is enough. no need to worry if your RAM space is lesser, but make sure it does not hit deficit level or else you'l hit issues.

hehe. willamette is a classic indeed. now, off we go to the darkside! (AMD)

darkside is intel lah... green side amd, lol...

willamette, classic rig.

Just now i was trying to find the pagefile.sys in my office pc,can't searched it also. I have enable the hidden files to be seen.
