Page File Size

[Niel]

A question to anyone that knows.

I now have 2.5Gig of memory..........do i really need a page file anymore ?? Windows of course keeps scaling it up to approx 1.5 of system memory.....but the way i see it ( and many others after a bit of googling ) is that the more memory you have the less you'll need the page file.

Anyone have experience of this ?

Cheers

setting it to 1.5 times physical memory is the recommended. Just set it and forget it

Windows xp still needs pagefile no matter how much memory is installed,setting it to zero or a small amount causes lots of problems.

I'm running page fileless now ( and have just played bf2 also ).......so far no probs.

I know i shouldn't tinker but one of the main reasons for bumping my memory up was i was sick of hard drive page file chatter when the machine was working hard ( oh...and a better bf2 experience )

my old memory setup was 512Mb + 768Mb page file

the new windows suggested page file for 2.5Gb memory is some ridiculous size........and i'm really pretty sure it shouldn't need it.

That's a bit unfair, what about us people that don't know?
