What's annoying me is Chrome using so many processes, including for each plugin.

Ok seriously, who are the people that actually know what a swap/page file is also believe that it is faster than real RAM? :crazy:

That's about it.. Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and Server OS can tap into the rest. I have that so I might upgrade to it..

People are overpurchasing RAM because it is cheap now. Hardware RAM is faster than Swapping. 1985 - 512KB (from $210 to $440) 1989 - 4MB (from $753 to $1023) 1993 - 4MB ($110) 1998 - 16MB...

Yes - there is no downside to purchasing too much RAM except that you're wasting money. And with RAM prices these days you won't be wasting a lot. This is intended more for those who, for...

on systems with larger amounts of ram, you might find that setting the pagefile to none gains you better bang for your buck (unless that is, you're going to use windbg to analyze those crash dumps)....

Anywho...... Two slots of DDR3? I'd recommend 8GB of RAM. Four? Go for 16GB of RAM. Now, if you're stuck on DDR2, or even DDR, you have a bit of a tougher decision to make, since that's a...

Are you saying that the system recognizes the 32 gigs but can only use 16? And if so, why can it only use 16?

That's the official page. Adobe putting "Recommended 24GB for memory leaks we don't know how to fix" doesn't help sell the software. Switch to a non-adobe NLE.

I doubt that you could ever consume all your physical ram, so it would be even better to just select "no paging file".

Follow the steps in the screenshots below. In this case, custom sizes were chosen but you could choose "no pagefile" if you have sufficient physical ram to do so. The minimum size for Vista and 7,...

Nice answer Jeffbx. I have a gig free of RAM, but I notice it writes to Readyboost sometimes. I just thought it would write to RAM first.
