The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by RTM2007 in Windows XP Operating System, Computer Memory (RAM)
I've read over the web on different "opinions" and takes on what to do with respect to the pagefile and size if you are running 3+ GB of RAM, but have found so many mixed reviews, thought I would take a stand here.
When running Windows XP Pro (32-bit) -- and eventually Windows 7 32-bit, what is the rule when it comes to pagefile size and if running 4 GB of RAM (obviously only 3.2/3.5 with 32-bit)?
What about if the HD is a 10k drive and/or SSD? What about if it is just a standard 7,200 SATA?
I've heard that you should turn the pagefile OFF completely or that you should make it 1.5 x times the amount of RAM, or that you should relocate (if possible) to another disk...
The primary # of users here all have Core 2 at 2.0 or greater GHz with 4 GB of RAM and usually a regular SATA 7,200 RPM HD. The apps they run are the basic Windows/Office apps with a couple business specific.
