My ram is 4.00gb (3.80 usable). I now have my paging file set to 0. Someone told me not to this, so can anyone help me?

Hello Smooveprined,

I would recommend that you have your page file set to the default of system managed. Windows 7 does a great job at managing it. Plus, some programs may require the use of the page file no matter how much RAM you have installed. I would only move the page file to be on another separate physical HDD if your Windows 7 drive is a HDD and not a SSD, and/or you are real low on space on the Windows 7 drive.

Hope this helps,
