Page File Size ???

[DODOUBLE]

Just curious if anyone had a recommendation on what to set for a page file size? I've read that it's best to keep it set to at least one and a half times the amount of ram you have, but I've also read that a smaller page file, say 256 or no file at all ( if you have at least a gig of ram) will optimize your systems performance. I have a gig of ram and would like to get the best performance out of my computer that is possible. Any suggestions would be great!

Hey DODOUBLE, welcome to PCStats. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"><BR><BR>What OS are you running? If you're running Win2k/XP I wouldn't bother setting the page file, if you're running Win98 set the page file no larger than 512MB. If you are using win9X there is a problem with the OS addressing 1GB or more of memory...

under xp the optimum page file settings are:<BR><BR>min: 1/2 the amount of physical ram you have<BR>max: 1 1/2 the amount of physical ram you have
