Question About Pagefiles On Different Drives

22 February 2011 - 03:51 PM

To all my old friends here hello it has Ben a long time,
The question I have is about a new pc I built i have 3 wd re4 500 in raid0 short stroked to 125 each as my os/game/app drive and I have a seagate 1tb 7200k.12 as my storage drive
My question is I want to first make a small partition on the seagate drive for the page file and then partition the rest for storage and backups. What should I do about the page file on the os drive? Should I disable it? Or leave vary small one? and should I just let windows manage the page file on the different drive or should I manually set the min/max and if so what should I set it to? Old rule of thumb 1.5-2x the amount of ram I have installed?
Pc specs
a
AMD 1090t oc at 4.1ghz
Asus crosshair IV 890fx
8 gigs of G.skill 1600 ddr3
3x wd500 re4 short stroked to 125 each raid0
Seagate 1tb 7200k.12
Antec 750 tp new blue
Zakman 9700

Any help would be welcomed

i got my new mobo and cpu yesterday install both of them and when i try to install  a os i start hitiing some speed bumps. at first when i tried to install vista i would get  a can not rind a cdd/dvd device driver to fix that i switched dvd drives it fixed that. but then i hit a diffrent speed bump when i after i choose what disk i want to install to i get an error at the end saying that vista could not update the boot configration. so i try to reinstall now and i get a your system hardware may not support booting to this drive please check bios to see if the controler is enabled. i try to select a drive and windows says it can not find a volume that meets its critera So i say ok back to xp but i am hiting even more speed bumps when i get to the screen to choose what drive i would like i install to i try my maxtor 320 gig setup says that windows needs to install to a partiton, so i try to install to the outher disk it installs to that disk but whne i try to boot to it i get a windows is missing a file error hal.something file
and when i install xp to the 320 maxtor drive i get a disk read error when i try to boot to it
mobo is a gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3P
cpu is 9600 phonom be
first drive is a ide 320 gig maxtor
2nd drive is a 250 gig wd sata drive
could it be that my both my harddrives just went bad

so my pc decided to poop out on it self and it came down to eather the cpu or the mobo that made it poop out, instead of finding out witch one i dicided to up get a new quad core,
i bought a 9600 Phenom 2.3Ghz and a Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3P mobo combo they cost me  202.56 with tax and shipping
but the thing that made me mad was on xmas i had just orderd a ASUS VH222H Black 21.5 monitor and the next day my pc died
