Question

Will my computer be faster if i adjust my page file? if so, can i adjust it to the maximum?

Answer 1

The page file should be about 1.5 times the amount of ram you have in the system (roughly) but usually letting windows control that will give you the best results.

The best way to make the system go faster is to find out what things are running in the background (ctrl+alt+del) to bring up the task manager and get rid of the ones you don't need.

Answer 2

To have Windows choose the best paging file size, click System managed size. The recommended minimum size is equivalent to 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your system, and 3 times that figure for the maximum size. Example, if you have 256 MB of RAM, the minimum size would be 384, the maximum size would be 1152.

For best performance, do not set the initial size to less than the minimum recommended size under Total paging file size for all drives. The recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your system. Usually, you should leave the paging file at its recommended size, although you might increase its size if you routinely use programs that require a lot of memory.

To delete a paging file, set both initial size and maximum size to zero, or click No paging file. Microsoft strongly recommends that you do not disable or delete the paging file.
