By default, Windows places the pagefile on the boot partition where the
operating system is installed.
To determine the size of the pagefile multiply the amount of physical RAM by
1.5 to a maximum of 4095MB.
However, placing the pagefile on the boot partition does not optimize
performance because
Windows has to perform disk I/O on both the system directory and the
pagefile.
Therefore, it is recommended that you place the pagefile on a different
partition
and different physical hard disk drive so that Windows can handle multiple
I/O requests more quickly.
