What is the difference betwen a page file, virtual memory, and a swap file?
I disabled my virtual memory, didn't see a change in performance. I have 1gb of RAM. When hitting control alt delete I see that I'm using 230mb of a page file. I have about 650mb of RAM free though. I want to eliminate using my hard drives all together, and only use my RAM. Do you have any idea how expensive 1gb of Corsair XMS-2 Pro is? If I'm paying that much, I want to use my wimpy 4gb/s mem bandwith and not my raptor's 45mb/s bandwith.
How can I do this? Thanks.
