| 341262 | 2005-04-03 21:43:00 | Good morning Could someone tell me the optimal paging file size for a 1.5 Gb memory setup. Intel4 @ 2.4Mhz The initial and the maximum? Thanks Gion :) |

| 341263 | 2005-04-03 22:50:00 | 284 - 1024 would probably be about right | Greg (193) | ||
| 341264 | 2005-04-03 22:57:00 | what OS? assuming XP then 1.5gig - 3gig. or simply set it so windows manages it. |

| 341265 | 2005-04-04 00:36:00 | With 1.5 GB you can also set no page file on WinXP, however, some programs want a pagefile. If you need a swap file set it to min and max of the same size. Do a defrag then create the file (e.g. 1024 min/max) |

| 341266 | 2005-04-04 00:46:00 | Thanks guys,Ladies OS is win 2000. I read somewhere the min. is 1.5 times the RAM? As RAM is 1.5Gb it would be over 2Gb for swap file? So, where from here? Gion |

Gion basicly you want at least 1x the amount of ram. everthing in ram gets swaped to the swap file. ideally you need 2x (everthing in ram swapped to swap file plus the stuff that was just in it a moment ago). have a search on it....theres been heaps of posts on this. just take note that w2k/xp are virtually memory OS's unlike win9x/me which works differently. the old 9x rule of "memory required by programs/os = ram + swap file" dosn't work with w2k/xp |
