No Page File vs Page file


Recommended Posts

What is yields best performance? Page File disabled or Page File enabled (if so what size is optimal?)

I'm sure this has been spoken of before, but as of today's current advances and experiences, what works best in your opinion?

Never disabled the page file, ever. It will "break" certain Windows internals, including performance counters that get used by other applications. For best performance, set your pagefile to a fixed size on a different physical drive then your system one.

Again, with the questions that have no answers. People with different amount of memory and running apps with different RAM usage patterns, and a varying amount of apps at once, on different OS'es... You're not going to have the definitive answer you seem to be looking for. See what works best for your needs, that's what it comes down to. Keep in mind removing the page file breaks several things (like jcarle said), including being able to write memory dumps when a box crashes.

It has been discussed for thousands of posts on this very forum according to Google, and little of that has changed. You just seem to be unwilling to read up, and rather open a new topic for every little thing that comes across your mind.

Search and read, and stop re-asking every little thing like:

-Win7 or XP

-how does nlite work

-XP SP2 or SP3

-page file or not

-win9x or XP & later (nevermind the existing thread 4 posts below)

-what router is best

-how to secure windows

-is dd-wrt good

...

Nevermind all those who have been trashed.

We're not going to spoon feed you all the answers.

Consider this your final warning.
