Page file

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Rich Montminy, Jun 3, 2004.

  1. I read somewhere "performance gains of 15%-30% are not uncommon" by
    dedicating a separate physical drive for the page file. Does anyone
    know how to move the page file completely to a separate drive. I can
    set up the majority but WinXP requires a minimum amount (about 40meg)
    to remain in the root drive(C:). Does that not defeat the purpose of
    having the remainder in another location, in effect, fragmenting the
    page file? Also, I was always under the assumption that the page file
    was only used when physical RAM was exceeded.

    Thanks in advance,
    Rich Montminy
