Put another 8gb in today and all is well.

weird_dave · 31 Aug 2011 at 22:35

OK, I've gone and bought some now to

I smell a RAMdisk coming on.... Aw, 4GB disk limit

What size pagefile is everyone having with 16GB memory? Ive set mine to 2048 min 2048 max.

weird_dave · 1 Sep 2011 at 13:47

With my current 8GB, I've set min/max 1GB. When I get my other 8, I'll move the pagefile to ramdisk and let it chew whatever it needs. May sound daft, but it nicely tricks windows (have done this in the past) for those pesky things that require pagefile space. In fact, I may do this tonight as I've already setup the ramdisk....

Stop being stingy and pay the £9 to licence it :rolleyes:

What Ramdisk progs are you using?

goodl · 1 Sep 2011 at 14:49

i was wondering that too

minimadmotorman · 1 Sep 2011 at 14:55

Google says something but i think they may be classed as a competitor.

Hehe, I will if I ever have to play with DVD iso images

Ok so I have 16gb to go in my build when I get round to it. Going to run x64 7 and have a couple of boggo 7200rpm drives. I'll never use all this ram so was thinking I could have a ram disk and stick the page file in there as some apps insist on using it. Would 4gb be enough?

e36Adz · 2 Sep 2011 at 13:37

Am I blind? I can not find that memory here at all

minimadmotorman · 2 Sep 2011 at 14:52

Think it's been pulled. However:-

Is it worth upgrading simply because it's THAT cheap?

No, but i've done just that.

Doubled the memory on my Macbook Pro, it didn't really need double the memory and i'll unlikely notice the difference but thought, meh, at that price, why not?

It's not on here unfortunately, it is elsewhere. Google it...

Thanks for that, I would have had that if it was not for the tall heat spreaders.
