From: Peter Rubens on 24 Dec 2009 14:47 Hello I have read somewhere (but forgot where!) that some one has his pagefil.sys and hiberfil.sys and even tempfiles in separate partitions to speedup his system I have plenty of HDspace and running winows 7 64bits, how can I modify win 7 to try this scheme? __________ Informatie van ESET NOD32 Antivirus, versie van database viruskenmerken 4715 (20091224) __________ Het bericht is gecontroleerd door ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
From: Charlie Russel - MVP on 24 Dec 2009 15:16 Honestly, it won't make much if any difference. You can move the page file using the System applet in the Control Panel (sysdm.cpl), and clicking on the Advanced Tab, Performance Options, Advanced Tab, Virtual Memory->Change button. Temp files are controlled by the Environment Variables button on the first of those Advanced tabs. I don't think you can easily change the hibernate file. But, as I said, I don't think you'll gain anything noticable. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Peter Rubens" <p.r.croes(a)hccnet.nl> wrote in message news:%238amhHNhKHA.2132(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hello I have read somewhere (but forgot where!) that some one has his > pagefil.sys and hiberfil.sys and even > tempfiles in separate partitions to speedup his system > I have plenty of HDspace and running winows 7 64bits, how can I modify win > 7 to try this scheme? > > > __________ Informatie van ESET NOD32 Antivirus, versie van database > viruskenmerken 4715 (20091224) __________ > > Het bericht is gecontroleerd door ESET NOD32 Antivirus. > > http://www.eset.com > > > >
From: Carlos on 24 Dec 2009 15:31 Peter, Go to your Computer Properties (Win key + Pause) and click (left pane) on "Advanced System Configuration" (I am translating from Spanish into English so there may be some differences). Go to the Advanced Options tab, and click on Configuration in the Performance Section (that would be the upper one). Now go to the Advanced Options Tab and click the button "Change" in Virtual Memory. There you go.

Placing the pagefil.sys on any other partition on the same hard drive will only slow the system down. It puts the page file out of the way of the system files and it then takes longer to access the page file due to extra drive head movement. If you place the page file on a second hard drive, on the same IDE controller you will NOT see any speed increase. The two drives must share the resources of the same controller. Now, If you place the page file on a hard drive on a different IDE controller, the two drive can read/write simultaneously - which will likely show you a difference. Note that if you have SATA drives each hard drive is on its own controller. You can place the page file on any other drive (than the system drive) and will likely see an improvement. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience/Security "Peter Rubens" <p.r.croes(a)hccnet.nl> wrote in message news:%238amhHNhKHA.2132(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hello I have read somewhere (but forgot where!) that some one has his > pagefil.sys and hiberfil.sys and even > tempfiles in separate partitions to speedup his system > I have plenty of HDspace and running winows 7 64bits, how can I modify win > 7 to try this scheme? > > > __________ Informatie van ESET NOD32 Antivirus, versie van database > viruskenmerken 4715 (20091224) __________ > > Het bericht is gecontroleerd door ESET NOD32 Antivirus. > > http://www.eset.com > > > > |
