Re: Split Page File Question

You'll get the best possible performance from multiple pagefiles on separate spindles (drives). The OS can detect the currently-least-busy drive and direct paging writes to that pagefile.

There is a special affinity of sorts for the boot partition (the one on which \windows resides), and if that pagefile is big enough the other benefit is that the machine can generate kernel dumps for troubleshooting, if necessary.
