Myth - "Disabling the Pagefile improves performance."

Reality - You gain no performance improvement by turning off the Pagefile. When certain applications start, they allocate a huge amount of memory (hundreds of megabytes typically set aside in virtual memory) even though they might not use it. If no Pagefile (i.e., virtual memory) is present, a memory-hogging application can quickly use a large chunk of RAM. Even worse, just a few such programs can bring a machine loaded with memory to a halt. Some applications (e.g., Adobe Photoshop) will display warnings on startup if no Pagefile is present.

In modern operating systems, including Windows, application programs and many system processes always reference memory using virtual memory addresses which are automatically translated to real (RAM) addresses by the hardware. Only core parts of the operating system kernel bypass this address translation and use real memory addresses directly. All processes (e.g. application executables) running under 32 bit Windows gets virtual memory addresses (a Virtual Address Space) going from 0 to 4,294,967,295 (2*32-1 = 4 GB), no matter how much RAM is actually installed on the computer. In the default Windows OS configuration, 2 GB of this virtual address space are designated for each process' private use and the other 2 GB are shared between all processes and the operating system. RAM is a limited resource, whereas virtual memory is, for most practical purposes, unlimited. There can be a large number of processes each with its own 2 GB of private virtual address space. When the memory in use by all the existing processes exceeds the amount of RAM available, the operating system will move pages (4 KB pieces) of one or more virtual address spaces to the computer's hard disk, thus freeing that RAM frame for other uses. In Windows systems, these "paged out" pages are stored in one or more files called pagefile.sys in the root of a partition. Virtual Memory is always in use, even when the memory required by all running processes does not exceed the amount of RAM installed on the system.

To što si ti isključio u opcijama pagefile ne znači da je windowsi ne koriste. Dovoljno su pametni da ti ne dozvole da ubiješ sistem ali se zato ostali programi moraju snalaziti kako znaju i zato neki od njih javljaju greške ili se odbijaju pokrenuti. Greška koju si ti dobio najvjerojatnije je vezana za memory dump opciju jer bez pagefile (ili premalog pagefile-a) na root disku windowsi ne mogu napraviti memory dump u slučaju greške pa pametni kakvi jesu lijepo te upozore i povečaju pagefile (drugi put nastoj pročitati ono bla bla bla... koje ti windowsi pokažu). Isključi debugging ili ga stavi na 'small memory dump' pa možeš staviti page file na koju god hoćeš vrijednost, ali opet ponavljam nećeš dobiti ništa osim možda nešto malo diskovnog prostora... inače FYI Photoshop radi sasvim dobro i bez pagefilea ako mu u opcijama uključiš dodatne scratch diskove... bla bla bla...evo jedna stranica sa mitovima i legendama o WinXP : XP Myths
