SSD Page file

[XSR]

Hi,
Can I disable the pagefile on the ssd when is 8GB of memory?
My friend told me he is not using pagefile for over a year and he does not experiancing any problem.
What do you think about that?

control panel, system, advanced system settings,advanced, performance, disable page file there. With 8 gigs, you will be fine.

Pagefile.sys exists on your hard drive as a single file to help your applications run when you run out of memory. It is called "paging to disk" and it is slow but does allow the app to run. With 8 gigs of ram, you should be ok without it.
