The page file is always in use and always has some data written to it - regardless if your physical memory is filled or not. Objective reality: The page file is used to page unused memory data by applicatons that launch to which also reserves user memory space for future higher memory usages. This will also problems with any person who connects their video card to an AGP port.įalsehood: Disabling the page file on adequate memory systems will improve performance. This will improve performance on server systems that do very large amounts of file sharing but is counterproductive for gamers and standard workstation users. Objective reality: This will reduce available userspace memory as this allows the file cache to extend into userspace instead of remaining within the parameters of the file cache. Enabling this setting will allow unused driver data to remain in memory, essentially providing no performance gain, causing potential problems - especially gamers with low amounts of memory as display drivers use up a fair portion of kernel memory.įalsehood: Setting this value to 1 from the default of 0 will improve performance on higher memory systems. Objective reality: This setting applies to a minute set of drivers located within ntoskml.exe. Some may find this list useful, anyway.Īpplies to Windows XP/Vista/7 - but some are XP or Vista/7 specificįalsehood: Setting this value to 1 from the default of 0 will improve performance on higher memory systems by preventing unpaged keneral memroy from being paged to the swap file. I was bored so I vented my frustrations by examining a few myths I see among the Windows "tweaking community".
