PFs??

mtb_ryder130 · 07-05-2006, 07:42 PM

Does changing the Page File value to a higher value help your computer to complete tasks?

Like if i changed it from 720mb to like 2gb?

It will only help if you have low physical memory, and you already are reaching the top of your current PF storage. Otherwise it's not going to make any difference.

You can enable the Page file system on both HD (if you have 2).. which will help in performace.

the reason I started this thread is because my dad's computer, which has music for 3 iPods, like 2350 songs, on the D drive thankfully.

Anyways, when I run iTunes, it runs okay, and as soon as I open anoter program such as MSN or IE, iTunes skips and repeats notes every like 3 seconds.

Any solutions?

How much phyiscal RAM do you have on that computer?

480MB
2.4Ghz P4 Processor

That may be your problem, if possible you may want to add some more RAM, if your motherboard supports it.

But you may want to try increasing the PF, since there isnt any harm in doing so.
