Steve,

You are wrong. Please stop distorting facts. Your comments about "effective memory bandwidth" including pagefile considerations are complete waffle.

It's not a case of paging to disk, it's a case of whether data has to be read from disk, or from a file/database cache in RAM. The important RAM consideration in a server is most definitely capacity rather than bandwidth.


If a page of a file is held in DRAM, it is paged in. If it is on disk, it is paged out.

I realize that you are having a little trouble grasping the concept, but the reason to have a lot of fast DRAM is to maximize bandwidth.

Please stop accusing me of distortion. That is not the problem here.
