I'll max out the Ram in some way, then maybe I won't need a page file.There's a contraversy about that particular Asus motherboard, it is said by Crucial to require PC2-5300 Some users swear that it is doing well on that; while HP says PC3200, and that's what's in there now. But, here's the problem, the users that follow the Crucial recommendation say they are running a full 2 gigs, while some of those who have tried 2 gigs of PC3200 with exactly the right specs, have only 1 gig or 1.5 of it recognized.
It's a nice steady motherboard, but it is known to have this problem.I'm going to order 2 matched sticks from Crucial and give their recommendation a try.
They say they take it back if it's wrongThen you know the other thing I'm gonna try, the ultra high speed SD flash card, doing a swap file.
It's no waste, if it doesn't work, it'll go into the wife's camera. If I don't ever try it, how I gonna know? Indigo L. On 11/23/2011 11:45 PM, Chris Belle wrote:
On machines like that, set a non-dynamic page file, one that stays the same size, so windows won't be constantly resizing it, set your lower and upper numbers to the same, about 2 to 3 times the physical ram you have onboard.

I've read that the page file was only good if you have not enough ram, since the hard drive is so much slower than ram. I think it's true, since I tried sselecting zero for the page file on my slow old machine, with inadequate ram onboard, and it got much slower, so I had to revert to the original page file size, then it speeded back up to what it was.

I usually clear out everything in the internet cache, run disk cleanup, then defrag. Windows 7 defrag can be scheduled, but I don't know if it's on by default. Mine wasn't. And I didn't turn it on because I like to clean house and then defrag. And I just downloaded and ran CCleaner last week for something; I can't remember what now. But it did the job.
