TO page file or not to page file

What is the concensus everyone has on whether or not to enable a page file and if you do have it enabled do you let the computer decide how much space it should have?

 
back in the win 9x days, i would always set mine staticly to 1.5 times the ram amount. now that i have xp and 1 gb of ram i staticly set it to 256mb.

PS: however you do it, always set it to a equal minimum and maximum size [i.e.: min=256 and max=256]. that way windows won't slow down or pause something while it shrinks or grows the page file🙂

Thank You,

I'm sure there are some that will disagree with what you do but i do the exact same thing as well. I have a static 2GB Page file that I made sure was completely Contigous on an empty 40GB drive in my dell, the dell has 640MB of ram. Also the system in my sig has a static pagefile of 2GB and it has 1GB of ram! Agian making sure it's contiguous so pagefile writes are at thier optimum, plus it prevents other files from being fragmented as well.
 
forgot to add-it is always best to place your page file on the fastest hard drive you have for best performance. if you have norton util's, you can use speed disk to place the file at the very begining of the hard drive as well for an even better performance increase. i have been doing that for 10 years now🙂
