win xp virtual mem. settings

Name: Anonymous 2005-01-21 4:50

just wondering what people recommend for virtual memory settings for windows xp (sp2).  i have 1GB of RAM.  no two online sources seem to agree :/

people seem to agree that it works best when on a drive other than the one windows is installed on, so that's what i've done.

currently my settings are:
c: 2-64 MB
d: 1024-1536 MB

Don't ever set your pagefile smaller than your physical memory. Everything that is in physical memory basically also has a "spot" reserved for it in the pagefile. Basically, larger pagefile = better, but then again, the old x86 arch can't really support more than 4 GB address space.
