Hi there,
I recently upgraded my ram from 8 to 16gb as I do a lot of photo editing etc. plus it was cheap to buy.
Anyways, I'm finding that windows 7 is still maxing out my page file (observed via MSI afterburner) and not touching the extra ram. It recognized it in the system folder of control panel.
Any ideas why this might be? I was under the impression that the page file was supposed to be used only when you ran out of ram.
