maximum paging file size

Filed under: Uncategorized — arrowsmith @ 8:13 am

with 2 gb memory starting to get common on some high end system.  I was trying to find what the maximum paging file size.  our old entry we use was 2 x ram memory.  I found out that the maximum size for windows xp is 4GB per paging file with a total of 16 paging files.
