Hi guys,

Me having 9800XT 256MB Graphics, 1GB Ram and I need opinions about the optimum Page file settings.

I know that the rule of the thumb is x1.5(Minimum) & x3(Maximum) the total RAM.
Hence, currently the PF is set to, 1536 Min. & 3072 Max.

Can anybody put some light if my settings are correct and that if I need to tweak it for a little better performance.

Also,, I am having Two partitions on my HD,

C Drive: for Windows files only + software ( MS Office, Acrobet, Nero etc. )
D Drive: for rest all the stuff ( Games, Music etc )

Do I need to set PF for the drive D ?

Can also explain how to read tht ?Task Manager? ? Under performance there are values explaining the Physical memory and commit charge, enabling to read this can lead to better understanding for the optimum settings on my PC.

NOTE: I am not facing any kind of system instability, just wondering if a little tweak can improve some overall performance, even by a little bit!
