HEEELP! partitioned disk space but the other half isnt working!

Thanks guys. I decided to go 100-140. I'll be running a couple more hd's when the time calls for them but for now it's plenty.

So if you have 1024 (1 Gb) MB of RAM, you want at least 1536 (1.5 Gb) MB for the swap partition, but no more than 2048 (2Gb)MB.

I'm a little lost? windows swap or page file? I don't understand why ram is being involved? :?


EDIT:: I changed the multiplier from x6 to x9 but in cpu-z it's still showing up at x6? Wth?

That's a decent mix. Mine's a bit smaller, but that's only because I'm running XP SP2 and Ubuntu.

Windows makes it a habit to store non-essential information relating to programs in a temporary swap file. This is about the easiest way I can explain it without having to bust out my A+ Certification book and bore you to death. :p

Is that the book you're using? If so, what should I look up?

and I read up on cpu-z's site and it's because of "C1E (Enhanced Halt State) and/or EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology)." I started up a game and it jumped up to 2.4 and x9

No, I've got a copy of:

And I've read it cover to cover a couple times. I still need to get around to taking my tests--perhaps after I get done with my next two college classes I'll do that.

Swap file.. page file. Different names for the same thing. + rep to Drum Thumper cuz he did a good job of explaining it. Here's a pretty good article with more info.

Ya, it's a pretty expensive test... I had to drop out of the class because I came in 3 weeks late and it's damn hard to catch up. I'll be taking A+ and Business 101 in the fall :)

Well this make sense but I found people going out of the topic. But my friend Stefan who is the member of this site had given me strict warning that these sites can't allow you to go off the topic like we do in Facebook. So.. that's why was just being so careful and found people going out of the topic. Even they found such people going off the topic they will lock our username. So is it really true...?? I mean I am less concerned about going off the topic but for locking the account..?? I am Pankti, new to this forum. I am replying this after having a deep thinking about what to write and what not to write.

Regards,
Pankti

You are not going to get your account locked because you went off topic... Cute thought though.


Dont worry about the pagefile, you dont see any improvment with it at all unless you can put it on a diffrent phsyical drive.

The pagefile is best thought of as an area on your hard drive that windows uses as if it were ram.

Epic necro while having an interesting amount of irony.

did anyone catch the spam in his sig?
