Sorry for this question, but I have read so much contradictory data on this,
I can't get a straight answer. I seems that while opinions are plentiful,
not many seem to be based on fact, or the rules date back to the days when a
nice system had a 4GB disk and 16MB of RAM.
What is the optimal size for the swap file for Windows XP Pro. I currently
have 256MB RAM, but I'm planning on adding another 256MB (512MB total) in
the not too distant future.
This is my home computer. I use it for normal the home stuff (email,
internet, excel, word, money), and for home movie editing / encoding and DVD
burning, which is very resource intensive.
Is it still recommended to make the swap file size static? Should it indeed
be on it's own partition? What is the optimal cluster size for that
partition?
Thanks!
