Some opinions please:
My basic setup is an AMD 64 3200+ CPU, Gigabyte mobo, 2 GB corsair RAM, Windows XP Pro, and 3 hard drives - a 40 GB IDE for the OS, an 80GB SATA for applications and a 250GB SATA for my soundfiles (It's a digital audio workstation).
Regarding paging files, I know that the best tweak is 1.5 times the RAM for the paging file size, and setting the minimum and the maximum as the same size is recommended as well.
With 2 GB of RAM, is a paging file size of 3 GB too much, and should I set the same size paging file on each drive?
I've heard 3 or 4 different scenarios of what the best practice is, but i wanted to hear what the experts on this site have to say...
Any feedback is as always, most appreciated. (And I hope I put this in the right forum...if not, sorry).
