How much ram do you need to disable Xp's pagefile ??

[Paul P Mathews]

have 512 now, if i have 1 gig do i need a pagefile ??

Also weres the best place to put the page file have it on my D:\ drive
at the momment.

To make some room on my C:\ Drive its only 6 gig (:

Its got 1.6 gig to play arround with, though i do have to install most
of my programs to other Partitions, which is fine with me thats what
their for, not just storage.

Thanks

Moving XP's Page File to another partition on the same drive will
cause a decrease an overall performance due to the increase in disk
seek time. It would be best to move it to a partition on a second
hard drive.

Windows XP is designed to make use of a Page File. You should not
attempt to run without one. Learn more about Virtual Memory in XP:
