just wondering what you guys with 2 gig's have your page files set to for gaming. if i turn mine off some games dont like it, but if i dont turn it off BF2 still does alot of thrashing ?

hmm, i have it on system managed at the moment. i tried turning it off once with my machine that only has 1 gig and it was a disaster ! nothing ran right ...Trombe said:I have only 1 gig and I leave mine off. Only adobe elements has ever even reccomended that I turn it back on.
Agreed.Gabbiani said:Let windows manage it. This has been debated and no matter how much memory you have windows will still use some of the page file. Your games and other programs though should not touch it until you have filled up your ram. Windows auto will prob use up 1.5-2 gigs, but honestly that shouldn't be much for most people.
Heh. Yep. Windows needs to have a place to page to.Gabbiani said:YAY someone actually supported my view in a forum. Thanks guys. Things seem to run like poooppoooo for me when its turned off.
The_Jizzler said:like gab said. either leave it alone or set really high and static. spreading the PF out among multiple drives is a bad idea. i could explain it all or you could just do a search real quiick as this has been covered, in full, multiple times here on the forum.
