Just A Question???? I Run A Program Called Diskeeper,when I First Started To Use It It Increased My Paging File To A Larger Scale 798 Mb. Now I Read Somewhere Can't Remember Where But It Said The Larger The Paging The Better The Performance Is This True ????

Most of the time, yes. But depending on your RAM, you can get it [inst]too[/inst] big! Here is a good reading:

Did you manually set your page file yet, or is it still Window's default?

NO THE PROGRAM ALERTED ME THEN IT DID THE INCREASE ON IT'S OWN ?

I would do it yourself, it does improve performance.

I have mine set at roughly 2 1/2 times the amount of RAM i have installed. I doubt any more would be beneficial :?

OK THANKS I READ THAT ARTICLE IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO ME NOW , I WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS OK
AND ALSO LIKE VIDSTER SAID ABOUT DOUBLE THE SIZE OF YOUR RAM . THANKS 8-)

I set mine to 1.5 X,s the amount of Ram on a FAT32 drive...on the puters with one gig of Ram..i dont run a Pagefile at all...marked improvement in speed..

A tip I was once given was to set your min and max paging file size the same and have it roughly double the size of your RAM. Having it the same size apparently reduces fragmentation (and hence speeds up read speeds).

I agree..and i forgot to mention that..but only on FAT32 systems ..NTFS is fairly immune to fragmentation..

then what do we do on NTFS?????
