yea.
a.k.a page file, virtual memory, etc.
Is there really an optimum? Does Windows run faster with or without it? (Presuming that I only have 2 GB of
RAM).
I know that with my quad (16 GB
RAM), it doesn't need to swap unless it really has to. Once it starts though, specially for the stuff that I do, it can pretty much go on indefinitely.
Curious to find out what other people's experiences with swap files are (and varying sizes) and based on what you do/doing/have done - what are some of the largest swap file sizes that you've seen.
