Here's my setup:
WinXP Pro
Pentium III 550MHz
128MB RAM
12GB Hard Disk, of which about 4GB is free.
I've just recently been reading about virtual memory... anyway: I've got two
spare hard disks, both of them are 1GB. I here that the general rule of
thumb is to spread the page file equally among all hard disks. I'm wondering
if I'd be better off just splitting it between my two spare hard disks, that
way my main hard disk won't be thrashing all the time? One thing to note
here is that I'd say my 12GB disk is a good bit faster at accessing than the
other two disks.
Any advice? I'm looking to improve performance!
I'm going to defragment my main hard disk and sort out the page file config,
as most of time when my machine pauses it's messing with the hard disk.
