Tips & Warnings

• It is generally not a good idea to completely remove the pagefile regardless of the amount of RAM a computer has installed. Change the virtual memory to at least 2 to 50 megabytes, depending on the amount of available space, to function as back-up memory in case the RAM becomes full.
