leaving it increased past a certain point is detrimental, if you set it to say 1TB[you can't on NT or 9x] it would be as if you had no ram at all... again, this dillutes ram, unless you'rerunning low on ram this will make no positive diference at all.
If you set it to a constant number it helps more. I have mine at 2000-2000. If you set it at two different numbers it can get fragmented and decrease performace. If it stays constant then it will be better. -------------------------- The way to defrgment it is: First, disable the feature and restart. This will delete the fragmented file. Second, Run Windows Disk Defragmentor. Thrid, Restart Fourth, Go back into the menu and set the number to a constant number. Such as 1500-1500. Fifth, Restart Sixth, Run Windows Disk Defragmentor again and you are finished. (Source: Hacking Windows XP)
thats why i said only do this if you have alot of hd space and dont be daft by putting a large number as your computer will probaly not be able to handle it and may over heat and cause it to break
all of which you just said is BS, loading your OS is harder on the drive than running pagefile. your harddrive is just slow. explain to me how a harddrive which has burst speeds somewhere around 30mb/s can compete with ram which has speeds a thousand fold?
Okay im going to be honest with youse. I dont understand computer as all of youse do i dont understand the technical terms you use but all i know is ive found a way to speed up your computer and i just posted it. Ill answer questions i know but that one has got me like :huh:
he means that your ram would just completely overpower your harddrive and just screw up ur computer...correct? if u set it too high, like if u set ur ram thing to something like 6000 or 6 gigs, ur computer will probably 1) overheat 2) Overpower the hd by too much and screw with performance..
now that i understand yeah and im sure i said that up above somewhere dont be daft and put lots of space sa your hd will not be able to handle it and do what you said
Okay, what he is saying is that RAM is rated to the point where it's reaction time is almost unnoticeable, a hard drive on the other hand is a set of disks and is ran at burst with a 30mb/s output. Okay... now, if you compare a thousand fold output to a 30mb/s output you will see severely different performance. If you put it on a graph, it looks REALLY lopsided. In other words, use your RAM unless you are really hurting... and even then, don't use this technique all the time.
if i was you leave it as it is but if it starts to run slow in the near future increase it a little bit
