Hi,
I recently got my new PC with 12 GB RAM (running Windows 7 64bit). The default installation suggests a 12 GB page file on the system drive (which I think is both inefficient and expensive on a SSD drive...)
I'm wondering if I need any virtual memory at all, 12 GB being more than I had on my previous machine including the page file (I had 3GB RAM + 3GB pagefile).
Thanks
Martin
EDIT
As mokubai pointed out, the question is pretty much answered in Windows 7 pagefile size with large RAM and SSD
