Page File "window" size

Somewhere in the cobwebs of my mind, I vaguely recall that when Windows (Win2K in particular now, but this info may stem back from Win3.1 days) swap data to disk in the pagefile, it does it in 4KB chunks. Can anyone confirm or refute that?

Thanx
 
Are you talking about the actual file or the way WinNT/2K uses the file. The actual file's chunks may be determined by the filesystem of the containing volume (FAT16, FAT32 < 2GB, FAT32 > 2GB but <32GB, NTFS, etc.).

The way Windows uses it. I thought the &quot;pages&quot; swapped were 4K in size. Can't find any definitive info on it, though. Goal would be to match cluster-size and RAID stripe size, maybe even that MS tool that normalizes program code to 4K blocks, and get everything screaming.
