Move or delete paging file
« on: December 11, 2014, 10:04:14 pm »
My question is about the paging file. My 'c' drive is an SSD. I see that the this.  I had been trying to keep this this just for programs & have music,piscture videos etc on other drives.  I notice that the paging file is on 'C' drive & now over 12 GB.  Should I move,delete it?  I do a lot of Video work using Sony Vegas pro.  My system is a i7 920 with 12 GB ram.

Thanks in advance

I have 12 GB of ram and I turn off the paging file. Mainly because I have enough memory to where I dont need it. If I have to have it enabled to trace a blue screen or anything I just enable it and put it at 400 MB.

Windows will by default make the page file as big as the amount of memory you have. Thats why it is 12 GB in size. If you dont want to disable the page file you can still change it from system managed to a set size of your choosing. :wink:
