    Corsair Shatters SSD Affordability Barrier

    scaminatrix, you should try and see what is your RAM hit rate. I suspect that your pagefile is not used that much if the PC is not crawling. Use perfmon (just type to start bar) and add counter memory->Pages/sec. This will show you memory hard faults (when data needs to be retrieved from...

    Corsair Shatters SSD Affordability Barrier

If you run out of gas, there is no real difference if you push your car at 0.01km/h or 0.02km/h ;) P.S. seems like we are getting off topic here... :)

    Corsair Shatters SSD Affordability Barrier

    You lost my point here. No matter what you have for pagefile, it will be many thousand times slower than RAM anyway, so no big difference. The goal is to stay instructions away from pagefile as much as possible. But if you have 50GB of data to load to RAM at once, than :respect:

    You can do without pagefile. But you need loads of RAM. As for prices - RAM is ~500.000 times faster than SSD, so you can do the maths to figure how much SSD should be lower in price to compete :nutkick: At the end, no matter what you buy for a pagefile it is a total waste. Always.
