    Hello.
    As all g1s owners would know, the stock hard drive comes in two partitions.The "C" drive contains the OS files and "D" drive is free. My pagefile is only on the "C" drive, do I need one more pagefile for the "D" drive too or is one ok? Also what is everyone else using for their pagefile size?? Mine is 1024mb. :confused:

    rule with pagefiles used to be 1.5x your physical memory, but now that we have so much physical memory it doesnt matter as much anymore. just let windows take care of it imo

    You would only see a speed increase if the pagefiles are on separate physical hard drives. Since both C and D are on the same physical hard drive there isn't much point in having one page file per drive letter.

    well putting it on a diff partition can reduce fragmentation of the pagefile
