Windows 7: How to turn off low memory warning?

I turned off my page file, I will turn it back on now. Just a couple of questions.



1) For the page file, is it better to set a custom size or let Windows manage it? Which is better and why?
2) I have 30 OCZ Vertex SSD and 1500 GB WD Green HDD, which drive should I put the page file? I have enough space on either drive.

I'd pick the SSD simply because it's faster.

I've always let Windows manage my page file and I've never had problems but if you need a certain amount of space reserved for saving things (especially on the SSD) then you may want to impose an upper limit giving your SSD room to breath.

Putting the page file on the SSD may cause it to ware out faster but that still means its life span is pretty long (probably 8+ years ,maybe a lot more), on the HDD life span isn't so much of an issue but you almost certainly won't need to impose an upper limit on the HDD unless it's almost nearly full.

PF should be left on the SSD IMHO.

Technically speaking, you are better off to let Windows mange the PF size.

However, with smaller SSDs (I have a 40GB one myself) space can be a issue.
You may wish to try a smaller static PF.
In this case, I would suggest trying min and max both set at 2048MB and leave the PF on the SSD.

Im assuming youve already moved Documents, Pictures,Music, & Videos to the Spinning Drive?

If space is really that tight, you could put it on the spinner, and leave a small 400mb one the SSD, but I wouldnt reccomend it.

I tried leaving the page file on the SSD but I don't have enough free space, I will leave it on the HDD. I never really noticed any change in performance where ever the page file is.

I have documents and pictures on the SSD. Bigger files like video and my music collection are on the HDD.

So, looks like the problem was that you had turned off the pagefile. I don't know why Windows still works like that, especially with the amount of RAM we have nowadays, but yeah, you need pagefile.

I'd say it depends on what you put on the SSD, but since you said you don't have enough space, maybe it's better to put it on the HDD.
