If you have that actitude with every person/s that ask a repeated question even if it was posted before I'm sorry for them. But as it was said before, if you disagree or don't like it because it was already ask, then dont participate.

I did help, I presented the theory of doing your homework before asking for help. Start a fire for a man and he's warm for a day, light a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life and all that.

People should be nice and do a quick search before posting. If it bothers them that much, they really don't want to know the answer to the question.

So with that point of view (I'm assuming that you work in IT - as a tier 2 or higher I imagine due to your knowledge) when a user call you for help you will said "did you search for help or did you remember how I fixed the same issue before?.

I don't work in help desk, but I do promote self reliance. That's what documentation is for after all.

 

[stash]

That's irrelevant, since this is not a help desk. We don't get paid to answer questions here, especially not ones that are asked over and over and over again.

But we did answer. We pointed him to the previous discussions that would answer his question and more (since he didn't bring anything new to the discussion).

Both the "retard" comment and the "xxx so far up his xxx" are completely uncalled for. You're luck a mod hasen't give you a couple weeks off.

THANKS

Answer:
Yes, you still need a pagefile. As for what to set it at, it is best to let windows manage it.

Here is the correct answer:
If you got 2gb of system ram why let the dump window to manage it?

article

Toss your swap file: If your PC has at least 1GB of RAM, you may be able to speed up your PC by disabling the swap file in your virtual memory settings. Simply click No paging file in the Virtual Memory dialog box (see Figure 1). To open your virtual memory settings in Windows XP, right-click My Computer, click Properties, Advanced, choose the Settings button under "Performance", click the Advanced tab, and select the Change button


I turned all mine off.

Ok, look the dude came in here and asked a question that's been discussed a hundred times over. He got ripped for it so I tried to give him the straightforward correct answer without getting dragged into this overused discussion.

As expected someone has now come in here and posted the WRONG answer which is what I was hoping to avoid.

Dude do NOT turn off your pagefile. I don't care of PCWorld or anyone else tells you otherwise. it's absolutely stupid. That pagefile is needed and used no matter how much ram you have. Windows is not stupid enough to simply ignore memory it has in favor of a pagefile on the disk. That pagefile gets used in a different manner.

There are some very unique and special circumstances where "tweaking" this can result in a performance boost. The poster has not given enough information to indicate these conditions exist so telling him to "tweak" blindly without facts is simply bad advice.

If you wish to argue with me I would *highly* recommend you search on this topic in these forums until you find at least five threads where this has been discussed. Do your homework before you argue this because I'm giving you fair warning ahead of time: The repetition of this topic has left the forum veterans with very little patience. You are cruising towards a flaming fast. it will be a bad one since there are some people on here that really know their ******.


As for your particular situation: You should turn your pagefile back on. Did you actually benchmark the performance of your machine after you followed this tweaking advice? I can already answer for you. No, you didn't. If you did you would find a decrease in overall system performance.

The guy that wrote the article you are quoting is an idiot. He has mixed in a few simple truths with a big load of BS.

 

[xtknight]

I just let Windows manage it, and I have been able to close a group of 39 IE Windows in less than a second with 2GB of RAM and A64 3500+, in addition to Winamp, IM, Opera, and a couple other things. That's good management if you ask me.

Dude. You do your own research and I do mine and I've shown tips from a reputable magazine and you have yet not. All you have done is to have looked to draw flame on other people. May be it's time for you to relax your attitiude and show us some facts.

[DasFox]

MrChad I do not have multiple instances of Paint open. And the original picture is not open in another window. Anyhow it stopped doing it, must of been some fluk, bug or maybe with my playing, tweaking things it didn't like some setting.

THANKS

I am, he is right, you are wrong. BUT since you won't believe me, how about reading a response from Mark Minasi and hints on the same from David Solomon.

link

Leave the freaking pagefile. And you can note that David Solomon suggests you can tune it down. If you must, get the tools from sysinternals, but it is better if you just leave it alone.

Edit - Aloha bradda DasFox. See, what MrChad said was the self-fulfilling prophesy The best solution is let XP manage the pagefile settings. The MS guys who work on this are good at what they do. It takes expert knowledge to tune on it.

 

[DasFox]

I left it alone, Windows is managing it. NOW WILL EVERYONE PLEASE STOP BEATING EACH OTHER UP AND THIS THREAD!

IT'S OVER IT'S DONE WITH NOW END OF SUBJECT!

ALOHA & THANKS
