    What you mean is you can have zero PF on C. Allocate all PF to 2nd HDD.

    I have always made a point to install my OS on to a single drive that is slower then my secondary drive or raid set. I currently have my OS on a 7200 RPM SATA150 drive and I have a pair of 160GB 7200 RPM SATAII drives running Raid-0 with two partitions, one 7GB partition for my paging file and the rest as a single partition that I installed all of my programs on to. I have noticed that this gives me a longer boot time when loading Windows, but all of my games and such load much faster. I am running Windows 7 Professional 32bit with 4GB of ram.

So many different "recommendations" - which is best and why 1) Keep page file on C: drive system managed 2) Keep page file on C: fixed small size if you have lots of ram 3) Move page file to another drive, system sized 4) Set 2nd system managed page file on a second drive, small page file on...
Move Paging File?

My new 80 GB HD just came i and I went ahead and installed Windows 7 x64 with no problems. I've also ordered 4 GB of ran to go along with my other 2 GB. I heard that I should move my paging file to another physical hard drive to increase performance. I have a 500 GB HD that could fit nicely into...
