I'm running XP HOME on a P4 3.2 GHz with HT Technology with 1024MB DDR SDRAM
at 400 MHz, a 128MB DDR ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card, and a 120GB SATA
hard drive. I run a very intensive application/game that is CPU intensive
(Flight Sim 2004 with several add-ons). I'm confused about what the ideal
pagefile size should be. Somewhere along the way I got an initial setting
of 1536 and a max of 3072. Does that sound about right, or is there a
better configuration for my set up? Or, should I just let the system manage
the pagefile? Thanks for helping a medium knowledge computer user!!!
 
I have always let Windows manage the pagefile.. subject to having enough
drive free space, this setting works well..
 
Will,
The article didn't make too much sense to me. Do you agree that I should
just let the System handle the page file and be done with it?
 
Hi

Yes, I let the systems here handle the Pagefile - and don't have any
problems.
