To challenge an old idea

[Perris Calderon]

I'm going to save that jpg...thanx...I just realized though, and possibly why you never noticed good file placement...xp does not ( to my knowledge) optimze fat.

also...love your sig...jsut clicked on all your links...had a good time

😉 Hey thanks dealer like your spycam link sweet
Had a single NTFS partition for about 6 x months, found that windows & apps do load slightly quicker under NTFS, but the difference in speed is when it comes to gaming & 3D mark where I see a slight improvement, the benefits of NTFS & windows dont feel lost on FAT32 its still a solid OS, fragmentation is a lot less than I expected, not to sure if the file placement is working or not but the defragger took ages during the first week moving files around, maybe it does?
Keep up the good work dealer your a star !!!!!!

In my opinion its not about space, never was. Can we all say fragmentation? The os will use that space, period. The larger the page file the larger your fragmentation. That is why I set a specific size to my page file.

Performance? Im running a 2100xp overclock on a Iwill mobo. Sandra has it clocked = to a pent 2.4 gighz.
What I hate is fragmentation. FRAGMENTATION....grrrrrrr

I know Im obcessed. Im working hard with my Dr. to correct that.

That is why I set the PF.

Thank you for listening. When you start throwing things at me, please make them soft..hehe🙄

sorry...the page file will not fragment because it's big...don't know how you got that idea...like saying your 80 gig hard deive fragments bedause it's big.

now, if you want to set the pf to a small value, and you're not using all the ram you have installed, go ahead and set the thing too small...but to set it static will absolutely cause a performance hit if you ever do use all the ram you have installed...xp will page when it needs too, it doesn't matter if you set the page file small...xp is going to page somewhere else.


as far as becoming fragged...that doesn't happen...check, I have, and size does not cause fragmentation, nor does resizing when the os does it for temporary reasons...on the other hand, if you've resized it, that will cause fragmentation

>>>> never had a fragmented page file until converting to FAT & even then the file was split on creation, soon got that sorted out using a free program recommended dealer here free programs page 😀 only needed to use it the once. Cheers dealer
