    my UPS uses hibernate to safely shut my machine
    Seems like a very good setup.

    Thanks! The little (actually, not so little) beast is also capable of boosting low voltage and bucking high voltage (the latter has never been a problem where I live; the former is). In the past month, it's been in boost mode a total of six hours. If I'm actually sitting at the computer working on something when the power goes out, I have five minutes to go into the settings to change them to manual shutdown so I can finish what I'm doing (on average, I can run 116 minutes, give or take, depending on what I'm doing, before the battery runs out).

    It doesn't look very big but it weighs over 70 pounds (75 lb. shipping weight)! I had to have help getting from my mail service to my truck and from my truck into the house.

    I know this sounds wrong but I get best performance with no page file at all - zero on all drives. I've got one computer with 4GB and one with 16GB and I run all kinds of graphic and rendering apps and it really does better without a pagefile.
    Disabling the pagefile will improve some aspects of performance but cost you elsewhere. There is also the placebo effect which can be very powerful.
