My Master drive is a 75 GB running all my apps (almost none as i recently formatted) My slave is a 8 GB dedicated to windows and some small files i need installed on my Windows disk. My Slave drive, as i really dont use anything on it except Windows it self is system managed for the paging file, my master is a minimum of a gig and a max of 4 gigs. I have 256 MB of real ram (which is DDR SD) What should my sizes be? -------------------- A British company is developing small computer chips that can store music in women's breasts. This is considered a major breakthrough since women complain about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.

You'll never use a PF that big ... and if you do, your hard drive will have to work so hard you'll loose any benifit ... I would try 512 then 1 gig and SiSoft your machin to see which benchmarks better and go from there. PS switch to NO Page file on any drive, run disk defrag ... then set your Page file on your fastest drive ... that way your page fie will be contiguous (it wont defrag on a "regular" defrag) Peace --------------------
