Is there a modifiable equivalent of “swappiness” in Windows 7?
My system has 8GB of RAM which is more than enough for my day-to-day use. I’d like to modify swap behaviour, what *NIX systems call swappiness and set it to 0, as I’ve done on my Ubuntu machine.
I’ve searched the Web for this but all answers seem to be for *NIX systems.
Solution:
Under Windows there’s something called “pagefile” where the system swaps applications to get the RAM free. I’m currently not at a Windows machine but the steps that Adobe put online here look right (I think Win + Pause is a shortcut to “Advanced System Settings).
Although it is possible to disable the pagefile, there are some concerns about that. For more information read this
