I am using PDL to trap data from performance monitor in CSV format for later
editing... I am getting what seem to me to be excessive page writes per
second, it peaks at around 1975. The server is an HPDL580 G2 with 2 x 2.8ghz
processors and 2gb RAM. The pagefile is 4gb and lives on it's own virtual 5gb
disk.
 
What program are your running that requires the page writes?
2.5 x ram is a lot of room for a pagefile. Disk space [virtual memory] does
not make up for physical ram. Perhaps you need to increase RAM
 
Hi Bolton,

Recommended VM is 1.5 times the physical RAM and in your case it is 2.5
times, it is common if the server host VLDB or intense graphic based
application or a busy web server. Where page file instance read/write is
extremely heavy either u should tune the application or increase the physical
RAM. Since the entire subject is interesting and comes under memory tunning
kindly tells to what extent u require help.
