Crapola.

In theory, you can run the OS for years without ever hitting a pagefault,
however there are applications that will not run at all without a pagefile,
irrespective of the amount of RAM available.

Crapola, you freaking fool. In a system where the pagefile is managed by the
OS, the default for Windows OSen, the maximum size is already set.

The best advice, for a Windows OS in an uncontrolled environment, is to fix
the size of the pagefile to avoid disk fragmentation.

Note that disk fragmentation is not the same as page fragmentation, you less
than useless dumb**** cuntflap.

THat was the nice thing about MacOS Classic...you could set the amount
of memory a proggy got *manually*.
