Do not disable the paging file. On a workstation with 32GB of RAM, I had error messages in certain circumstances telling me there is not enough system memory, even though it was only using about 20GB out of 32. Enabling back the page file and setting it to 1024MB fixed the issues.

I don't think disabling it is a good idea. Set it at 2 gigs anyways and forget it if you have a lot of RAM.

[SirJaxxyPlays]

So why do you reccomend to disable paging file if you have 8+GB RAM?

I have a Seagate terabyte hard drive should I make a paging file on that as well, and should I just use the recommended amount or more?

[CraigChamberlin]

Better performance without a paging file.

my ram is 6GB how many type in custom size?

[DylanStricker]

I don't think I ever changed the settings but when I went and to Chang it the initial size was 2872 and the max size was 3096 but the recommended amount was only 1391.. Should I reduce the amount?

[TheHazardousLeo]

[TailedFoxProduction]
