Windows 10: Would having page files on multiple different drives act similarly to dual channel ram?

by acting like dual channel ram i purely mean in the sense of improving performance over just one page file.ive got an old mid range laptop from around 2016 with soldered memory and two m.2 slots that i think are far enough apart to have seperate controllers.just wondering if i could improve performance on it by giving it two ssds and putting a page file on both.

Single vs dual channel RAM in a laptop

The RAM can bottleneck the CPU when benchmark testing.
In real world testing you won't notice the difference.
You would need to push the computer to extremes.

Most end users do not overclock laptops.
So for the typical laptop you won't notice the difference again when using single as compared to dual channel.

When adding or replacing RAM these are important:
a) Use RAM that is displayed on the computer or motherboard manufacturers Qualified Vendor List (QVL)
b) Always purchase in pairs with matching SKU (so that there are no compatibility problems)
c) Consider RAM manufacturers offering lifetime warranty

When adding or replacing RAM consider the pricing for two 8GB versus one 16 GB.
If its a minor difference go with the two 8 GB.

One other factor to consider is having four DIMM with 2 RAM modules.
Typically adding only one RAM module converts dual channel into single channel.
The single and dual channel refer to the function of the motherboard.
In the owners manual it may indicate which DIMM to use when using one versus two RAM modules.

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.

 

Dual Channel and Flex mode

I would like to know how dual channel and flex mode works. I think I do but need some clarifications please.

I have 1x 4gb DDR3 and 1x 8gb DDR3 totally 12gb. So, CPUID says they are running in dual channel mode.

My questions are as following:

Q1) 1x 4gb + 0.5x 8gb are running in dual channel; and remaining 4gb is running in flex mode. Is that correct?

Q2) If I consume over 8gb of ram then what happens?

a) 4+4 gb will be running in dual channel, and remaining 4gb running in single channel mode? Or,

b) the entire 12gb will be running in single channel mode?

Q3. Any difference whether I place my ram back or front? For example, 8gb in slot 1 and 4gb in slot 2; or reverse 4gb in front and 8gb in slot 2?

Thanks
