Re: Pagefile and RAM

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

i guess u can't add much RAM in a notebook.
use counter log in "Performance" to monitor the usage of pagefile, if the
maximum usage of pagefile is 1GB, then try add 1GB RAM, then turn off
pagefile.

i guess u may be able to do some registry tweak to make sytem use RAM in
high priority, may be others can help u.

I have a notebook with Turion64X2-TL50 (1.6GHz).HDD=100GB, RAM=1GB.
Pagefile
allocated is 2GB. PagefileUsage is 700MB.Consequently thre is lot of Hard
Disk activity. If I upgrade my RAM can I bring down pagefile usage? If yes
how much RAM should I upgrade to?, so as pagefile usage is minimum (almost
Zero).
