Hi
I have noted that on pcs that have a lota of ram say 4gb + the page file is also greater then the ram. I have seen almost 16gb of page file on few laptops.
So my question is is this needed? Can't we disable the paging? In da de of average user? Who will just be using virtual boxwood one or two vms running in it and each set to 2gb and the system having 8gb ram.
In xp days when I had 128mb of ram I would set it to 200mb and all programs would run. Later after upgrading ram of my old p3 to 512mb I would set it to 100mb.
Afterall the purpose of page file is to give a virtual ram to the os yo mitigate the issue of no memory. In old days it was understandable to use page file and may be set it to 1.5 times the amount of physical memory installed. But nowadays with a lot of physical memory already available do we even need this page file thingy and above all in this huge proportion to ram?
Thanks
