Page File, How BIG????

[heartview]

first off the regular user does not run sql on their PC, second for the love of god if you gonna use all those then get your self another gig.

Neither do I. I listed SQL Server Enterprise Manager, which is the client software of SQL Server.

forth, what resolution is big enough for you if a 2848 x 2136 is not enough for you?

last, I'm gonna get photoshop right now, give me a link for pick that is big enough for you.

My digital camera takes pictures that big. Do a 1200 DPI scan of a full color page and see how big that is. I work with logo files, for instance, that are 60MB (compressed as a JPEG) and that is small compared to most that do this sort of thing for a living. Most graphic artists use an uncompressed (or lossless compression) format to work on photos, which would turn that 60MB file into a MUCH larger size (400MB would be a decent estimate).

There is no place that is going host a 50+ MB image that I could point you to, but that is still a small file for most graphic artists.

BTW your statements are plain wrong and you know damn well since you are comparing your work PC with people's personal PC to whom I'm recommending to disable page file.

At no point in this discussion was the term "home PC" or "personal PC" even used, except by you in the statement I quoted.

so how about you don't advise people based on your isolated work experience and instead advise them on their environment 😉

My last statement in my previous post: "It depends on what you do and which applications you run." If you never use more than the amount of physical RAM in your PC then this topic is a moot point. I've said it before and said it again. But for many of us, that is simply not the case.

perhaps you don't work with helping people with software and PC related stuff but I can tell the difference between a home user and a work user from a mile away 😉

again with your misinformedness

I myself have over 250GB of space on the Internet so I could easily host it however I don't' need to since there are plenty of places that can host your 100MB image file like http://yousendit.com/ and there lot more sites like that so stop the BS and upload the damn file so I can prove his misinformedness wrong again. btw they will host upto 1GB just so you know 😉

Neither do I. I listed SQL Server Enterprise Manager, which is the client software of SQL Server.

how nice of you to mis my point of the fact that not many people have any sql apps on their PC 😉

My last statement in my previous post: "It depends on what you do and which applications you run." If you never use more than the amount of physical RAM in your PC then this topic is a moot point. I've said it before and said it again. But for many of us, that is simply not the case.

misinformed again, there are very few of us that run heavy things and many of them that don't, not the other way around not to mention that you keep using the apps at work as an example in a forum where most people that ask for help are asking for home stuff anything to prove your false point I see, you may as well throw in the pink elephants while you are at it.

Ok, I will say this all one last time then I am done with this thread. Having 1GB of RAM in a PC in no way ensures that you will never run out of physical memory, even for the "average" user (if there is such a thing). Many people these days bring work home, so I fail to see the distinction between home and work usage.

If you are a game player and also do work in the background, such as browsing the Internet or other tasks, then it is very possible, and even probable, that you will need more than 1 GB. But, again, it depends on which games you play and which applications you run along side them. Look at Oblivion as an example of a memory hog.

Fact is plain and simple: there is no guarantee that you will NOT use more than 1 GB so why risk it? Also, your "gain in speed" you seem to tout so fervently is only temporary at best. If you use and reuse the same applications many times throughout your day you will find decreased performance with the paging file off. This is fact, not fiction, not my opinion.

so in other-words every time you say something and I provide a fact you just gonna back track and repeat your self again.

you said there is no place to host a 50MB file, I showed you a place that will host 1GB.

first you say there was no talk of home PC then you try and say there is no such a thing as an average user.

average user = uses PC for games, general photo editing, p2p, publisher, word, encoding and such.

if you did not know there you are.

I am at home one those users, atleast 3 years now I have had my PCs page file disabled and my friends and family also.

if you use your PC for gaming, photo editing, browsing, file sharing, encoding and such you will not run out of ram and can enjoy having your page file disabled without any problems.

Fact: everything you say is in theory but when put to actual test has different results then what you read somewhere 😉

Fact: if after 3 years so many people have not user more then 1Gb memory as an average user then the run out of ram fairy is not showing up 😉

Fact: the gain of speed is not a temporary thing at all me and every body I know plus my users on my forum not seeing any decrease is not fiction its a fact your idea that this can happen is fiction 😉

Fact: all this thread I have provided facts with proof and you have just typed 😉

congrats on being done with this thread I don't care much for theories when there is a working model 😉
