Hello All. Whats the scoop on Page File. If I go to control panel, double
click on System, click on Advanced tab, settings on Performance, than
advanced on performance options, than "change" on virtual memory, I am than
faced with 3 options. Custom size, System managed size or No page file. What
is the best option for best performance? Running Windows XP Home. Thanks in
advance for your help or opinions,
 
Hi Shek,

I recommend you chose System Managed Size, and if
possible, move it to another drive or partition other than
that which you're using for your Windows installation.

That will give you the best performance value possible.

Hope this answers your question Shek! :-)
