Page/Swap File on TS drives?

[John Penn]

Hello I was wondering what size and where should my
Virtual Memory File be located, I have 1 gig in Ram, and
Two hard disks, Hard disk 0 is the OS hard disk 1
contains our database, all I run on Terminal Services is
Our database. So where should I put my SWAP/PAGE file?
Thanks

With only 2 disk s to choose from and one holds a DB, I'd choose the system drive, since you'll want write performance (assuming it's a OLTP DB) to be as fast as possible. The Page File should be set to a static size = 1.5 - 2 tiimes the size of your RAM, i.e. 1.5-2GB in your situation. I have my normal TS Hardware & configuration advice here, which would be worth a look in your situation

Normally I wouldn't recommend hosting a DB on the Terminal Server, but if you only have one machine you don't have much of a choice
