Mike represents the other viewpoint. Twayne is a Troll, who extols
the virtues of using a Registry Cleaner and has many other "bright"
ideas. The pagefile on the second drive should be 1.5 times the
RAM. Make it
4,606 mb if that is the recommended figure. Adding further RAM to
your system would be pointless as you would exceed the address
space limit ,which applies to 32 bit systems.Make the partition on
the second drive 5,100 mb. I would not partition the rest of the
second drive unless you have a particular reason to do so. Leave
it as a single partition. The partition on C drive should be 50 mb
on a basis that minimum =
maximum. This accomodates the system needs and permits the creation
of a dump file should have the misfortune to suffer a BSOD ( Blue
Screen of Death ) error.

I would not partition your the first drive.

My supper is ready so I will write later about the merits of
firther partitioning. This is another controversional topic where
you encounter two viewpoints.

They are two different approaches for two different scenarios


I am trying to familiarize myself with adjusting the pagefile but my
settings do not seem to be 'sticking'
please review these screen shots and tell me what the settings should
be and what I'm doing wrong.

finally, if I manage to get the settings updated, how can I test the
PC to measure the improvement?
thanks

If you forget to click "Set" before leaving the window, the settings
won't be "set". Maybe that's the problem?
