        On a system with 4 gigs of Ram why wouldn't you want to just
disable the Paging Executive?  A 4-8 gig page file is quite excessive. 

         

You cannot disabling paging completely - at least not without
substantial changes. Water is wet, grass is green, and NT / Windows
pages. It's how the OS works. It *pre-emptively* pages, and does so for
a reason - this is not the same as reactive swapping as seen in earlier
OSs. 

         

        Second, what would spanning accomplish?  Most likely, those
partitions reside on the same physical drive/raid set.  It's very rare
to see multiple independent spindles in a Terminal Server.

 

Is it?

 

All my terminal servers have multiple spindles. Admittedly some are a
little over 5 years old, now, but even so...
