Re: Pagefile placement

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I am not sure you understood my post. I mentioned the practice was already in
use per our Boss so I do not need to test it. I agree there is no difference,
but I am looking to see why MS thinks there is one and for something I can
show my boss regarding the subject.

Now, I am not looking for MS to answer directly, but thought one of the many
MVPs might have some insight or know of a KB, whitepaper or something to help
out. Thanks.

Try moving the pagefile. Let us know if you notice a difference. I didn't.

You'd have to ask them. No one here works for or represents Microsoft.

A little debate is going on here at work as too the best placement of the
pagefile on a Windows Xp system. Boss is looking for MS best Practice, which
I read as move it to a different partition. He currently has the desktop
group apply this by creating a D: drive on the same partition and placing it
there.

Our argument is over whether this actually provides any performance boots
over having it on the C: drive with the boot and system partition. Some of us
think it is the same either way and you have to move it to another DRIVE to
get any actual performance boost, but others insists the second partition on
same drive works.

Goggling produces support for both sides, so does MS have anything to help
clear this up? If a separate partition in the same drive does work, could
someone explain why? Thanks!
