Clever Page File Usage

[ZËÐ]

Okay,

Is it possible to set some applications to run off paging file virtual memory instead of hogging physical memory?

Cheers,

dunno, but you can buy (if rich) a small SCSI 15,000 drive and use it exclusively for the paging file. Or even an external firewire drive. That would boost system perf. a bit.

Cool. Thanks for the post!

may be you can buy a large RAM(more than 1 G? or something), then forbid the pagefile.

Some apps, namely games, need the paging file regardless of how much physical RAM there is to run correctly.

Upgrade to a bigger amount of RAM for better performance. Or you could try some sort of external drive as several other suggested.
