ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I don't think you can run too many applications concurrently without a page file. What would Windows do when all memory is used up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Have you looked at microsoft's comments on pagefile.sys?http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...=kb;en-us;99768N.B I know the article applies to Windows NT but the principle is the same and XP is built on the NT engine.
