Repairing a computer can be time-consuming. It is also important to note that changing your virtual memory settings could result in performance loss if settings are too high or too low. It is usually best to allow the operating system to manage the virtual memory settings automatically. Note Before changing your virtual memory, make sure you understand why it may or may not be a good idea to change the Microsoft Windows page file size.

Paging Zefram Cochrane: Humans have figured out how to make a warp bubble. Comment and share: Find a memory leak that is bloating the Windows XP pagefile. I just recently added another drive to my computer, for spare data, so i might try and set that to a page file. I probably will not notice much of an increase, because the two drives operate at the same data throughput, but maybe by being on its own IDE channel it may help.
It's not the drive speed that's the factor, it's that if it's on a seperate drive and channel, it gets to be first in line instead of waiting for whatever else your system drive is already doing to finish. P2P is fairly greedy, but web browsing can actually be more so. Windows tends to leave memory and virtual memory occupied until something else requests it, so the actual amount of memory in active use may be much less than total memory minus free memory.
Joined Dec 14, Messages 1, I have a question, would setting up the pagefile in another partition of the same drive help performance and prevent fragmentation? Or would that be a hinderance? There are two articles on the front page of Firingsquad. One says to make two partitions, having one just for the pagefile and internet cache, while the other says to just make one big partition.
The general consensus seems to be a lone partition spanning the whole drive, but I am confused on whether or not to have a single partition or two to prevent fragmentation. I read an article that said they did make two partitions, and made the page file on the outside of the hard drive using a defrag program.
I guess it makes it a little faster. I have never tried this. What i can say is that putting a Page File on a diffrent drive on a diffrent IDE channel should be the fastest option especially if the drive is not used much. Actually, it was a huge article now that i think of it.
I'll try and dig it up.
