I have a Windows 2008 R2 server with 128 GB
of RAM, how much page file if any do I need? I
have read in some places that a 64bit
operating system doesn’t need any page file
and others that it does. I don’t have 1.5 x RAM
free drive space available but I am curious as
to what the best practice is.
Thank you,
Leto the just
This is not just my idea but is shared by people who are far more qualified than I.
This thread on another forum explains it very well. Read the post by “DriverGuru”, about 1/3 of the way down.
