Let OS manage paging files or configure yourself?

If manual - which rule do you follow?

I generally let the OS configure it, but check just in case after install

6231M out of:

total 3006

cached 2122

is that 4gb? (got this info from task manager)

Properties on my computer shows 4gb at least

let the os manage it and make sure you have enough ram installed for your use.

God dammit may need to upgrade to 4gb

Ditto. Only like fragging in games, not my OS.

2x physical memory fixed min and max is the less cpu consuming.

These days tho, I don`t think there`s the advantage there used to be.

Minimal gain for Vista, XP perhaps a bit more, 98se meh.
