I\'ve been having a lot of memory crash dumps. I\'ve read several forum postings on people who have at least 1GB of RAM disabling the paging file. I\'m clueless when it comes to system type optimization. If I disable the paging file, would have fix the system crash dumps I\'ve been having? Any comments or replies would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am going to add 512 mb ram to it. my current initial size is 336 mb and maximum size is 672 mb in custom size in virtual memory dialog box. To which value should i set it now and after buying 512 mb ram? please help. i have 256 mb DDR2 533 Mhz ram.

Say you have a newer system with 2/4/8gb of ram (which many these days do) are you saying that 16gb of page file is necessary? Even with my own experimentation I have found that excessively large min sizes causes excess HDD activity, and that an ultra-low min is good to keep things faster. On my current system the best I could manage was a 100-2000mb file located on a separate partition on my OS install drive, and a 100-4000mb file on an independent partition on an independent HDD. This gives me blisteringly fast startup times, and relatively fast OS operation. The only downside is that, when running very large games, many files are paged to the second HDD, and the OS has a hard time on termination of the game as there are large amounts of data that have to be erased and re written across separate drives. However I wonder if this is still not faster overall than a single file on the OS install drive. Aren\'t there any better page file guides than this??? RAM x3 formula sucks, there is so much much much more that can be played around with to get page files working faster. This does not entirely makes sense.

Windows Xp Pages its Some of Process By default . It is Necessory to Mention about how to disable that if you have more than 512 mb of ram .
