If perhaps you utilize a computer utilizing a version of Windows you might notice that your pc in the past was fast,but now your computer is slow quite often. Of course we realize many reasons exist for a slow computer; nonetheless, this article is will discuss something known as Windows Page File, how it is used, and perhaps a idea on how to use it correctly and perhaps ways to rectify a slow computer system.
First let’s discuss what the page file in fact does and why it is actually used. In the days when RAM/Memory was really expensive, the page file was created.

This was produced to speed up the systems, however, after a bit of time, all of the writing that is going on back and forth can actually cause more of a slow computer than a speedy pc.
