Thanks for sharing your views on paging file memory allocation. (again)

I have not understood your notion of isolated drive

I just mean drives that have there own OS and require a restart to switch to. I agree that 'isolated ' is not an appropriate term. The more I work with my system the more I understand what you mean by Windows smearing everything everywhere. I've done a good bit of smearing myself as well by trying to have access to apps like Diskeeper, Backup Exec, Outlook Express in a centralized manner across two drives. I promise to never describe my disks as isolated any more.<g>

I continue to
recommend a paging file or files which aggregate at
least twice the size of real physical memory.

You used the word aggregate. In my case, with the two drives each with their own NT and 128 mb ram, are you saying 2 X 128 total across the two drives or 2 X 128 on each drive for a system total of 512 mb?
Also should the initial size and maximum size be the same or handled in some other manner?

There is absolutely nothing to be gained by allocating
different page files to different instances of an OS.
I would allocate them the same size on each drive in
each instance

Again, just to be clear, your saying, for me, 256 on NT drive A and another 256 on NT drive B? Also the 256 would be the maximum size then what would initial size be?

Sorry to be dense here...
