about hard drivers

[thesnake]

hi, i want to ask about something that i used to deal with only by things I've heard..

but i never really learned it at a scientific bases..

before i ask i want to say what i know, so that i can explain:

i heard that i must leave about half of my c:  disc space ,as  free space. or eals my system will slow down.

now my questions are

1_ is that true?? and if yes haw much exactly of free space i must keep on driver c:

2_ dose that include other drivers Oslo??

like for example if i am installing lots of stuff on my 27g  f:  driver would that slow my games down? should i leave a special amount of driver f:/ Oslo as free space

and thank you for you advise

The needing space on HDDs thing is mostly down to Paging files and moving-room for temp files and so on.

If you right click on mycomputer and go to properties, then click the Advanced tab, then click Performance>Settings, and then the Advanced tab, you'll be able to manage your paging file(s) yourself. Unless your HDD is tiny, it will be nothing like half its capacity.

Besides that, just leave 1GB if you can, and that should be plenty for temp files and system operations etc.

ok i understand but i am not planing to mess with my page memory because they told me here before

to leave it alone.

You needn't mess with anything.

I'm just saying you don't need to have so much free space. 1gig should be plenty for most things.
