That sounds like something I should try.That makes sense as the 15.9 remained constant though I filled the physical memory.
AMD, The performance after I turned off the paging file was significant. The memory is faster than the drive as you know that but some of the programs expected the paging file to be present in order to run.
Sorry I think I misunderstood. Why is that surprising?I think it's the way they were coded. The swap file were common in Windows especially in the early days where physical memory were at a premium.
It's a holdover nowadays.
By the way, I browsed on this and found an interesting fact that adding physical memory cuts down on swapping. That had me thinking WTF? I have memory not used so why not use it ??
Then why would adding memory cut down on swapping, if the coding is the problem?No, it uses swapping not because it's low on memory it's because of coding. I have over half of my mems not being used yet it's swapping.
That's a valid idea, but I don't think it's worth replacing all your RAM for a couple hundred Mhz.From the looks of it, you don't need more memory. With such a small (relatively) page pool adding more memory, won't really do much. On the other hand, you might be able to eke out some extra performance with higher clocked memory. If your board can handle it...
