**Riptorn** · 01-04-2009

Can someone please tell me how to custom size my swap files??. I have a partition drive, and would like to set the swap files on that drive. The thing is I am not sure how to set the size??.. The recommended is 2.5 times of Ram, I have 4GB Ram, the initial size and max size, I am unsure of??.. Can anyone please help me??
Thanks

While there is no problem setting your swapfile manually, it is better to rather have Windows manage the size of your swapfile. That way, it can dynamicaly increase in size as demand requires. Automatically setting your swapfile is better too for increased overall system performance - don't ask why - it just is
