Nobody is arguing against your element of chioce. You can do what you want.Some enthusiast does, and he's willing to sacrifice a bit of reliability to have some fun with his engine.
It's just that you are not getting a 6X increase in power. But you are still increasing your risk, which the point we are trying to give you, is it is not enough (if at all) a performance increase to actually take the risk to change it.
Yes, actually. However not with a machine with this much RAM in it.To the people who say don't do it cause it'll cause problems, have you ever tried it?
In one circumstance, Windows simply re-enabled it to prevent my system from crashing. In another, my system got very jacked up (more of a test, so nothing bad came of it... all my stuff backed up).
Like I said before: read up on how this stuff actually works.
Just having the ability to "allocate" RAM to the paging file (a very good chunk of which is actually used) means more of your physical RAM gets put to use.
In a more accurate way, you are actually decreasing the physical RAM your actual apps have to run.
But I'm done with this thread.... Do what you will with your system, just don't come crawling back when it doesn't work, as you've been advised against it! No excuses at that point. Isn't Microsofts fault or anyone elses.
