If I had lot of RAM would there be no Page File usage?

[Holiday]

I was just wondering if I had tuns of RAM, would the task manager say 0 MB of page file usage?

 

[palmmann]

you could turn it off if you like

if I don't have enough ram some programs wouldn't work would they?

If you have enough memory you can disable the Page File, that will increase the overall speed of your computer, but will use alot of RAM.

I disabled the page file when i had 1GB of RAM, no problems. I wouldn't suggest it below 1GB though. I'm only at 512MB now and have a pagefile set, although small.

So under the performance tab of the windows task manager, the PF usage is the page file usage and not the actual memory usage?

I wouldnt advise disabling the page no matter how much memory there is. And doing so on any box with less than 2GB is not a smart move if you care about performance.
