Say you have a newer system with 2/4/8gb of ram (which many these days do) are you saying that 16gb of page file is necessary?
Even with my own experimentation I have found that excessively large min sizes causes excess HDD activity, and that an ultra-low min is good to keep things faster.

On my current system the best I could manage was a 100-2000mb file located on a separate partition on my OS install drive, and a 100-4000mb file on an independent partition on an independent HDD. This gives me blisteringly fast startup times, and relatively fast OS operation. The only downside is that, when running very large games, many files are paged to the second HDD, and the OS has a hard time on termination of the game as there are large amounts of data that have to be erased and re written across separate drives.

However I wonder if this is still not faster overall than a single file on the OS install drive.

Aren\’t there any better page file guides than this??? RAM x3 formula sucks, there is so much much much more that can be played around with to get page files working faster.

Then they tell that they have fix one or two errors.
In order to fix other errors you have to buy their software or alternative buy something which cost almost if not more than if you will simply pay these robbers.

I believe Bysoft should not allow this bunch of advertisement to be advertise in their website. Simply because people will think Bysoft is also a scam.

I recommend it as the default viewer for all image types (gif, jpg, png, bmp, etc.)

But I will agree that for non-technical users, having a standalone resizer is a very good idea.

One quibble with your article: I think 1024 by 768 or 100 KB is still too big. Go for 800 by 600. Your recipients will appreciate that.
