Optimizing Page-File Usage for PC with 2 Hard-Drives…???

by rajsdoshi . Updated 17 years, 5 months ago

===================================
I want to Optimize Page-File Usage.
===================================

I have 3 GB of RAM,
and 2 hard-drives:
– C (65 GB) with 3 GB free space,
– D (75 GB) with 13 GB free space.

I was advised me to:
– Go to Control Panel > System > Advanced > Perf. Options > Virtual Memory
– Click on the Change button under Virtual Memory.
– click ?Custom? and SET the value at 1.5 times that of your system RAM.,
i.e. 3072 for me.

In the Virtual Memory dialog box, I see:
– for Drive C:
– (checked) Custom Size:
Initial size MB = 2046
Max Size MB = 4092
– (not selected) System Managed size
– (not selected) No Paging File

– for Drive D:
– (not checked) Custom Size
– (selected) No Paging File

Should I change any of the settings to Optimize Page-file Usage
or Change anything else to improve system performance ???

Again, Thank you for your valuable time.
