IIf the create paging file option is disabled you are no longer seeing hard drive space being used to suppliment the physical memory.



A lot of gamers will dsiable the creation of the paging file instead of either having Windows manage it or custom setting the amount of drive space to twice or upto 2.5 times the amount of memory installed. The screen shot above shows how to go into the system properties by first right clicking on the MyCompuer icon then the advanced settings link seen in the screen that comes up.

That will bring up the system properties screen where you click on the advanced tab>performance>settings and then advanced again on the performance screen where you find the "change" button. You set it to programs(default) or background services.
