kainoa Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 If you're talking about the Windows paging file size for your virtual memory than DO NOT set it to 0. The typical rule (so i've read) is to set the INITIAL and MAXIMUM sizes to 2x the amount of ram you have. I have 768GB of RAM so I have my paging file set to 1536MB for INITIAL & MAX.

Cesar R Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 ok, so 2 - 3 times my ram correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hess Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Most important thing to set is the min/max to the same value. Everything else is just part of a never ending debate. I set my min/max to the same as my physical memory allotment. Aka if I have 2048 megs of ram, my min is 2048 and my max is 2048. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kainoa Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 kainoa what happened to your good looking avatar with the desk and monitor? It was much nicer than the new one... Hehe Itzik...I felt 1337 last week so I decided to pay homage to CS ! So I replaced ALL my avi's to the "ugly" 1337 T from the game. Haha, yeah i know he's ugly, but CS is still rockin'!
