In an SSD+HDD system, is it better to relocate the pagefile from the SSD to HDD since SSDs have a limited write limit(TBW) ? will doing this decrease system performance in any way?
Thanks in advance!
Put it/leave it on the SSD for the faster transfer speed when data needs to be shifted out of RAM (which shouldn't be very often, if at all, with 8GB installed) --- your worries about it having a limit on write cycles is no longer an issue (if it ever was).

You can see what happens if you disable superfetch in services. That can sometimes speed things up.
When you upgrade your RAM it is a good idea to stick with a clean 16GB dual channel kit. Adding one module, identical in speed, timings and voltage to your existing module(s) most likely will be fine but there isn't a guarantee. We've fielded many questions asking why brand new RAM won't work and mixing old and new RAM can introduce issues.

Thank you for the clarification. 1 more thing...
The thing is, MSI Afterburner shows that my pagefile usage is over 16gigs when gaming and around 6-7gigs when idle... isn't this abnormally high? :/ will it be a better idea to limit my pagefile size once i upgrade to 16gigs of ram or just leave it as it is?
