I'm looking for
guidelines/recommendations for setting the pagefile size on a W2K Pro SP2
machine.
My guideline for NT used to be
to set both MIN and MAX = (2 * PhysicalRAM) + 16
I just bought 512MB SDRAM (only
$80!!! for 2 Kingston 256M ECC sticks) , so this works out to be quite a
good size pagefile: 1040
Interestingly enough, the W2K
default setting is 768 - 1536.
So, for W2K is it still best to
set MIN and MAX to the same value?
Is there a formula that's best
to use?
Or is it best to let W2K set
it's own values?
I know about setting the
location of the pagefile:
-- Only one
PF per physical disk
-- Create
separate PFs on separate physical disks
-- Best on
non-RAID or RAID 1
-- Avoid
putting on RAID 5
Best Regards,
JMU
