Re: Paging File - why do i need it?
fieseler,
The paging file is not just virtual memory. It allows the OS to swap application data that is not being used out of physical memory so more physical memory is available to applications that need it. I see no good reason to turn paging off and a lot of good reason to leave it turned on.
In Vista, by default, the paging file size is dynamic and handled by the system. Unless you have a specific reason to change that, the default setting is appropriate.
