    I have 2 WD 80gig hard drives and was wondering how much page file I should give my drive (D) which is basically a storage dump! currently i have no page file allocated. My main drive (C) is the work horse and i currently have 1536mb for the initial size and 3072mb for the maximum size, 1 of my games crashes at start up and i think it has something to do with this!.

    XPpro sp2
    2 WD 80 gig harddrives
    p4 3.0
    2 512mb of corsair dual channel (1 gig)
    6800gt

    I don't know how to help you on your game. As for the pagefile, you should put it on your second hard drive and have no pagefile on your c: drive. You actually don't need a very large pagefile either since you have lots of ram, fast processor, and a good video card. I personally would probably go with something less than 1gb. here is a link to the best pagefile guide I have ever found. It is really in depth and explains a lot. It will teach you how to figure out the proper size pagefile for your system and even help you make sure it is on the outer tracks of the hard drive.
