CPUs don't have page files

12/20/2011 2:14:51 PM

Do you or do you not understand what I am talking about?

Lets not act like nerds ok. Focus on the meat of the thread.

12/20/2011 2:28:42 PM

people don't refer to cars as engines

you shouldn't refer to computers as CPUs


[Edited on December 20, 2011 at 2:40 PM. Reason : don't worry about the page file. chances are it knows what it's doing]

12/20/2011 2:38:38 PM

but people do refer to concrete as cement!

But here is some useful information for you anyway:

that much utilization isn't unusual, depending on what's going on. If you run some games, you can easily get that kind of usage during the game. It should drop off when you exit the game, though. I've seen it continue to increase with memory leaks in shitty programs (I'm looking at you, Firefox), or even just routine Windows stuff. if it bugs you, reboot, and it'll go back down to normal.

^, ^^ Look at that. Information! And it wasn't even hard!

Thanks you, "Tech Talk"

If you don't apply a custom size in windows it will typically manage it itself and usually ends up being close to the amount of system ram you have installed or at least that's what happens in my experience.

-Although yeah Windows 7 handles the page file a little differently than prior versions of windows. What do you have?

Oh go fuck yourself. If you don't want to be corrected get your terminology straight.

12/21/2011 9:44:36 PM

lol my terminology

12/22/2011 9:22:26 AM

i can't believe you are surprised that highly technical people are very anal and specific

it's just the nature of the beast, man. if you can't deal with that, just use google.

I'm surprised. Look at how surprised I am. I am totally shocked.

I'm pretty sure everyone knew what you meant, but it's the principle of the matter. We get paid to be accurate.

12/22/2011 12:25:01 PM

wait who gets paid to give advice on tww?

Very relevant to this thread.

Common sense ITT.

Look, just shut the fuck up. You goofed, were made a fool of, and now you won't let it go. There is no way you can argue yourself right or make anyone else look stupid for correcting you.

Move on, become a better person and leave knowing your question was answered.

12/23/2011 2:33:35 AM

hahaha holy shit bro

12/23/2011 3:18:15 AM

i find that picture to be very stupid.

set your page file to system managed across all drives and leave it alone

7/25/2012 12:45:19 PM

fixed to the same size as available memory on my fastest drive non-ssd

no but some brits call cars motors.

7/25/2012 2:08:50 PM

windows leaves the page file enabled on an ssd by default because it doesnt contribute enough to wear vs the performance gain.
