Pagefile max is 4 GB. Regardless of how much memory you have. -----Original Message----- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 6:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Pagefile sizes... Its that time of year again.
But in reality, that rule of thumb was created when RAM was very expensive, and systems usually had a very small amount of it. By that token, I'd require a separate array for the pagefile on my new database boxes - since I'd need to find space for a 9GB pagefile. With modern systems, I shoot for about 1-2GB max, depending on function. Most large memory hog applications - specifically Exchange and SQL server - don't like to page, and there is no performance benefit for them to do so, since all that data is already on disk within their store.
