However to see Pagefile. If you would like to use the space used by windows paging file and have enough physical RAM on your PC, you can,. Note that the physical RAM size needed to turn off virtual memory depends upon the number of applications you use and their memory requirements.
However turning off virtual memory is never advisable and you can instead consider moving pagefile. You will have to read our earlier article on configuring and managing virtual memory in windows vista for finding out how to turn off virtual memory or move pagefile to another drive.

Paging out to disk means more physical memory for the app requesting it. If some not needed parts are temporarily on disk Oct 23, 5, 2 Originally posted by: Brother Ali Well I used this article to allow me to partition my hard drive.

Jul 2, 1, 0 Obviously you'd want the bulk of data in physical memory since it's the fastest area besides cache , however All disabling the page file does is lower the amount of frequently accessed data that can fit into physical memory by ensuring more rarely accessed data resides there.
That doesn't improve performance at all. For those files that are rarely accessed, hitting the hard drive every once in a while to page in and out is vastly better than having said data take permanent residence in physical memory. If anything, Windows Vista would make better use of a page file than previous versions of Windows, since virtual memory as a whole is populated better than before through Superfetch.

Any ideas? People from Microsoft have argued when having lots of RAM, then the old rule about the pagefile size should be 1. But the general recommendation is that one should not disable the pagefile, but instead resize it so it matches the computer usage.
The pagefile is used to hold rarely used mdified data, leaving more RAM available for more important uses. During quiet times Windows will preemptively copy rarely used to data to the pagefile to make more RAM available but not free.
The original contents of this RAM is still available if the owning application requires it. It is considered available because it can be reused for other purposes if necessary. This paged data will never be read back unless the memory was reallocated for other purposes. If you have adequate RAM pagefile activity will rarely impact performance. This is not actual pagefile usage but is more accurately describled as potential usage. Actual usage will typically be much less.
In any event the frequency of pagefile usage is far more important then it's size. Unless you have a very good reason and fully understand what you are doing it is best to leave the pagefile settings alone. Your email address will not be published.
