    disabling page file?

    NO, don't remove the paging file even though you have lots of ram to waste on page file is still needed for windows to work properly. Well if you have a 2nd HDD try putting the page file there as far as I know moving the page file in different HDD with no system files on improves performance.

    Page File

    Set minimum and maximum to a constant number as suggested by others, that will help reduce fragmentation on the drive coz of different page file sizing.

    window assign page file to HDD

    page filing

    With modern HDD's and systems it's not as big of a deal as it used to be, I would say at least have a 1GB pagefile if you have 4GB of ram. There are some programs and parts of windows that won't be too happy about no pagefile. I've ran without, with a small page file and with a larger page file, really not a huge diff with 4GB of RAM, but I got less errors in some programs when I had a page file.

    Windows was designed to use it, I'd recommend leaving it active. *Toast :toast:
