Oh, I'm not even for sure what those are :p

I guess that is something else that I will have to learn :)
 
Ram is faster to use, using a swap file on your hard drive is the slower of the two but you need to have at least 512MBs or more. Some programs need the swap file so turning it off would not be a good thing to do. Play around with the page file size to find the best fit for the system.

Page file is an alloted space on the hard drive where information is stored when not used by programs.
 
I dont like page file, i turn it off and it works MUCH better, but it cant load battlefield all the way, so its a toss up...
