I remember hearing that the missing amount when you install 4GB is due to the video memory getting mapped into that space or something. Never looked it up, though.

That would be worth checking out and would make sense of the number changing from 3 to 3.25 to 3.5 depending on how much video RAM you have

and mugs I do have only a gig right now. I changed it since that pic to 1533 rather than 3072 (not quite sure why I had it so high) And I too have heard it is a bad idea to get rid of the paging file all together.
 
The hardware will typically reserve memory for its own use.

Shared video memory is one example. I think certain PCI controllers use some of this memory as well.
 
My system has been running rock solid without a page file for a couple of years now...

at any given time, I could be running any or all of the following programs:

IE
firefox
ati hdtv program
nero
media player
UT2004
photoshop
remote desktop

see my rig for the specs, the only things I've upgrades are: memory to 1.5GB, burner to 8X dual layer dvd burner, and tv card to hdtv wonder. The rest are exactly the same.

so I say 😛 to pagefile :laugh:
