I have a 2GB pagefile on my SSD, but I usually have about 30GB cached with superfetch anyways.
I want to watercool my HD7950, are there any good blocks or even a kit.
A lot of programs go nuts if you don't have a pagefile IIRC, I'd keep it at a marginal size just to be safe but I'm sure if something that's not video rendering/encoding takes up 16+GB of RAM there's spomething wrong with your PC

22% fragmentation isn't good. Around 10% is already pretty bad, considering it means that statistically every tenth block you read is non-contiguous relative to the rest of the file.
Looks like I know what I'm doing...
If it's over 5% I feel compelled to defrag. I did find a 93% fragmented drive at work though.
Also here is that ramdrive video [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFoZHbVkmY4[/hd] [editline]19th August 2012[/editline] I'm always having a hard time thinking up a thumbnail idea.

My computer just blue screened when sitting at the Crysis main menu. guess I can't play Crysis :( [editline]19th August 2012[/editline] and now my hard drive is squealing when playing certain games great
[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37318578]Some of the text is cut off though.[/QUOTE] That's an issue with youtube and Facepunch. The thumbnail and on YT, it looks fine, but I guess I could offset it.
Speaking of SSDs and pagefiles, can't you just set up a NTFS junction to a secondary hard drive?
Alright I uploaded a fixed thumbnail.
Huh, I actually haven't checked how fragmented my drives are. I didn't even have Defraggler installed. SSD is at 23%, hard drive is at 10%. Running a quick defrag on the latter now. I wouldn't have though it would get fragmented until I'd gotten near filling the drive. It's only half-full...
What is really irritating about inferior filesystems (FAT, NTFS) on SSDs is that you can't defrag them but they're horribly non-contiguous. Whereas even without defragging, in normal use in the long term, ext2/3/4 tends to stay at or below 10%.
What? Can't defrag them? And why does it matter if they are contigous on an SSD?

It's one of the main reasons I stopped playing.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;37318749]What? Can't defrag them? And why does it matter if they are contigous on an SSD?[/QUOTE] Even on an SSD, sequential access is faster than random. And if the fragments are less than the block size of the SSD...
I got a pleasant surprise earlier. Windows told me that my C: drive was running out of space. Turns out, I'd accidentally hit my FRAPS record key and it had been recording EVE Online (running at 1680*1050 with all settings maxxed), and I [I]hadn't even noticed a performance hit.[/I] This computer is wonderful.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;37318749]What? Can't defrag them? And why does it matter if they are contigous on an SSD?[/QUOTE] Well I meant it'd feel very wrong to defrag a SSD. Of course you [B]can[/B]. (Also it matters because I don't like hearing my files are non-contiguous. Mostly. Perfectionism, I guess.)
Looks like about 90% of the fragmentation on my hard drive came from Firefox. Aaaaand it's going to take about a day to do even a quick defrag, for some reason. Something seems wrong about that.
Clear your cache first?
[QUOTE=Forumaster;37319006]Clear your cache first?[/QUOTE] Well now I feel like a dumbass. Should be done in 10 minutes now.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;37319070]Well now I feel like a dumbass. Should be done in 10 minutes now.[/QUOTE] It'd be nice if Piriform made an all in one suite of its stuff, or at least make Defraggler able to run CCleaner before a defrag.
I buy Spotify premium then run to target because i need socks. Come home and my internet's down. Welp
I'd pay for a Piriform Suite with all the programs combined into one seamless tool

how do I clear my cache with ccleaner?
open CCleaner, then in the clearing options, enable, "clear cache and registry" or something of that sort [editline]19th August 2012[/editline] [IMG]http://puu.sh/WXnb[/IMG] Don't be fooled that it's grey'd out [editline]19th August 2012[/editline] I just realized that at times, I alternate between grey and gray. I might confuse some people.
