Dxdiag

Hi People!
I was recently having a general clean up and tweak session and decided to defrag/resize &c my swapfile (page file).

So I set it to NO PAGING FILE on all drives, shut down rebooted
I ran a full Defrag using O&O .... My C:\ drive is now a peaceful work of art!

I then ran DXDIAG which reported a paging file of about 1.5Gb

so I did it all again

same thing

I looked in the registry, showed no page file

I did a search for pagefile.sys with system/hidden files enabled, no result

I eventually gave up and set my pagefile to 2047/2047.

My DXDIAG now reports a pagefile of 3.5GB!!!!!

Where is this extra 1.5Gb? Or is DXDIAG up the spout?

My machine has 2Gb OCZ dual channel DDR2

Lol, you´re right.
Mine says 495MB used and 2425MB available, while pagefile.sys is 1024MB.

You know what?
It´s just Windows!

Mine shows about the same even tho I have 2gb RAM and pagefile set at 2048mb....dunno how it calculates that number
