What should the paging file size be set at for the best
performance, or is it just the windows managed size? My
CPU is a P4 2.4, Physical Memory is 512mb, 1120 GB HD, a
ton of saved files and programs too. Still over 50% of
the HD space is un-used. Please reply with some type of
formula to figure this out like 2 times the physical
memory or, 2.5, 3?
 
Hi;
99% of the time: Let it ride by itself!

The XP pagefile.sys(tem) management is very efficient.
If you are not into VERY HEAVY graphic editing and such then there's no
reason at all to alter the settings.
