location for my new XP Pro PC please. It has 4 GB RAM and two
(nominally)750 MB HDs, neither partitioned as yet. The default size
set is 2046 MB 'Total paging size for all drives' and is on C: (the OS
drive).
the installed RAM works nicely. If you can put it on a drive
other than the system one, even better.
HTH,
Ah, thanks Rob, that seems to crystallise my earlier view that I
should put it on I: (as I did on my old PC). However seems at odds
with Dean's point about a pagefile being needed on C:?
You only need a pagefile on C: if you wish to take memory dumps when the system crashes; otherwise, ignore the warnings and put it where it is convenient (which is what you should be able to easily do with anything - user files, applications, common files etc :-) )
