go to system properties - advanced tab - performance settings button - advanced tab - change button for virtual memory

there it will list all the drives you have, and you should be able to setup ur page file ;)

have fun and gl :thumb:

I also like to use double my physical memory

It really depends on what you use your machine for and who you ask...

If you ask moi and I use mine for Internet/Benchmarking/Reviews/College Work/Occassional Game then the minimum I set it to is equal to system memory, and maximum double system memory :)
