Thread: Swap File

  1. #1

    Default Swap File

    In a "Best Practices" sticky dvd901 suggested the Swap file should be 1024mb...both min and max.

    Can someone tell me how to do this with Vista?

    Default Re: Swap File

    I don't have Vista, but I found this on the net, changing it in Vista seems very similar to XP:

    * Click on Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> System
    * Choose Advanced system settings from the top left hands side
    * Make sure that the Advanced tab is selected
    * In the Performance section click Settings
    * Click on the Advanced tab
    * In the Virtual Memory section click Change

    Now, before being able to change any virtual memory setting, you have to uncheck "Automatically manage paging file sizes for all drives".

    Hope it helps.
