Intlharvester 0 Posted April 8, 2001 Why would you want to put the pagefile into RAM? This would seem to defeat the entire point of virtual memory. Share this post Link to post
Four and Twenty 0 Posted April 11, 2001 Well I would just turn the page file off except that Photoshop gets all pissed off about it. The reason that I want my page file in the ram is cuz I have a shitload of ram and i don't see any reason why my system should need to page at all. The problem is that windows writes **** to the page file way before you even get close to running out of ram. Well i don't use all the ram I have so I was thinkin make a 50 meg ram disk and slap the pagefile in there. The problem is that ram disk nt seems to be only partially compatible with win xp. The drive that I set up doesn't show up in explorer but I can put my pagefile in it. The thing is if I put the pagefile in this semi existent drive win xp fails to boot which kind of sucks.
