Windows Page File and SSD/HDD Management
CalvinAMi replied to lonesyndal's topic in General Notebook Discussions
The PAGEFILE thing honestly doesn't make much sense to me on the amount of storage it bookmarks. Guru's say that the pagefile should be at least 1.5x-2x your installed memory (including GPU memory). With that logic my pagefile should be set at 13312 (i have 6GB of system memory and 512MB GPU memory) Some tech-heads say anything over 8GB of installed system memory, you should actually disable pagefile all together. Pagefile should optimally be set on a secondary drive other than the system drive, but it can exist anywhere really. Check out this video for a quick/simple "set it and forget it" tutorial. Honestly, Windows 7/8 does a fine job of managing the pagefile by default. Any benefits from a change in size are going to be moderate at best. I hope this helps! -
Hey Gang, I have a Toshiba c55dt-a5307 notebook. It has an A-5200 APU with an integrated AMD Radeon HD 8400 graphics card. Its a "16h family" processor if that matters. The BIOS clocks are locked, and every Catalyst driver I try doesn't allow the AMD Overdrive software to be enabled. I realize this is not a gaming laptop, but I would like to get the most out of this APU as possible. Are there any drivers existing that allow this APU to be overclocked a little? I've tried softwares like Razer Game Booster and MSI Afterburner and didn't really gain anything noticeable. I'm also quite sure a BOIS/vBIOS mod will be needed, but i'll hold that request as a last resort. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
