Re: Page file?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Ralph,

This topic has been covered in NG few times.
But here is Microsoft word on this (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms933155.aspx): "You should disable pagefile support on
your run-time image, or, if possible, relocate your pagefile to a non-protected volume. Using a pagefile can add a significant
amount of overhead in the RAM overlay."

If you are using a RAM based EWF partition, is there a good reason to
use or not to use a page file? I have 1 gig of ram in hte system and
the applications use about 200m plus the OS.
