ooh ooh ooh
a virtual memory discussion
COOL
I love this from microsoft, something I've always said about virtual memory;
Q: Ok... 256M-4GB is a pretty big range... any recommendations?
A: Yes. We recommend a 1:1 ratio of flash to system memory at the low end and as high as 2.5:1 flash to system memory. Higher than that and you won't see much benefit.
lays to waste any argument that the more memory you have the smaller pagefile a person needs
the discussion also points out this is just to aleviate io's, not to improve pagefile performance per se, the hardrive is faster then the flash drive, all new data is still sent to hard disc via pagefile and the flash isn't a replacement for it
interesting stuff here, I don't run vista yet and never new about this "ready boost" thingy
