826355 2009-11-02 02:08:00 I have win 7 64bit and 4GB of ram.
I don't have a page file.
I don't want a page file.
I do however want windows 7 to stop bugging me when i only have 800MB memory free.
its annoying, bad design, etc.

826356 2009-11-02 02:13:00 Why don't you want one? If it's never being used then what's the problem? Chilling_Silence (9)
826357 2009-11-02 04:24:00 i thought the page file was important and necessary.

Annoying bad design?, since when have you been a system designer?....do you know what a page file is for?

826359 2009-11-02 04:56:00 4GB is not enough to operate without a page file anyway is it?
I would have thought 8GB would be the minimum.

You could operate without a page file but it would slow the machine down.

826360 2009-11-02 04:58:00 the less RAM a system has, the larger the pagefile is likely to be. If enough RAM is present there may be no pagefile. GameJunkie (72)
826361 2009-11-02 08:53:00 Yeah basically it's not going to hurt it leaving it there. There's debate about if you even gain much (if any) performance by putting it on a RAM-disk, so don't even bother. If you have enough RAM, it won't be actively using it, so just do the right thing and "Let Windows manage my Pagefile" ;) Chilling_Silence (9)

Another troll perhaps?

Linux does not have a page file and you can always use MSdos which had no pagefile either.

Dont know about that. I use 8 GB, the pagefile is the same size. And it exists.
