Using Task Manager

[Mombo323]

How can I use Task Manager to monitor my page file usage as far as setting my min and max page file settings? They are set at both 384 man and max now, but my page file rarely goes over 205. It hangs between 182 and 206 no matter what I run. Therefore, should I reduce the settings or leave them alone? Thanks..

You would need to go through the settings box by right clicking My computer>properties>advanced>(performance) settings then the advanced tab and its the last part of that tab, choose settings and change what you like. You can monitor with Task Manager but you have to set it this way

i herd that you should set your page file to1.5 times your physical ram, so if i have 512 ill want to have 768. i put my page file here some info on it . http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.c...d=1590&page=10

I just did some research on this. mine was at 1.5 times. and with 1gig of ram it took up alot of HDD space. I set my page file to "off". (not totally recomended) but I found that my performance actuall increased a little bit. and my games don't lag on startup like they used to.

the article i read said when u dont have alot of memroy set it at 1.5 but if you have alot 1:1 is recommend

even better if you have a second hard drive, put the page file on that hard drive, you may notice an increase in performance
