Pagefile usage question

Question: I just moved my pagefile to my raid 0 scratch disk for video editing. Ive noticed that my PF Usage in task manager seems like its getting kind of high. Ive been playing WoW (using 2gigs) And the usage is going up to around 700-900.

I was under the impression that pagefile was used when the memory was full? I dont think i remember seeing this much in the pagefile before i swapped it to the raid 0?

or am i just crazy?

Short answer: the "PF Usage" display in Task Manager has nothing whatsoever to do with how much data is being swapped out to disk. Please search for many, many, many, many, MANY threads in the OS forum detailing this stuff.
