doesn't really matter...just make sure u have enough space

you can change some registry settings with X-setup www.xteq.com to give your RAM priority.

obviouslt it does matter because setting it to 0 takes me from 60fps in CSS to 40fps

That's a common problem. I don't know how to fix it. Try google or search the forums.

Try setting it to 150 or something around there to keep the games that like VRAM happy, but your computer functioning well. Also listen to TheMajor's advice about giving your hard RAM priority.

I don't personally like the way Windows manages pagefiles. I find that it puts far too much weight on it...and leaves some actual RAM unused. It should basically fill up the hardware RAM, and then when that runs out, it should move on to using a Pagefile. Just adding to the already huge list of why Windows sucks .

Do not set the Page File to '0' as many processes will become unstable.

i would set the min and the max the same.. that way if it usess more then the minimum, it doesnt get fragmented. and im not shur, but i would bet the vram doesnt work as ppl posted above...

im guessing the vram is used for less intensive programs, and the high intensive ones are automaticaly prioritized for the hard ram. so it prolly doesnt matter how much vram u designate, as long as its not too little. again thats how i would imagine it works, but then again it may not work in the most logical manner. if u have a lota HD space.. i just set mine to 1024 min/max.
