Am wondering about usage of the paging file:

Default Boinc puts usage of the paging file on 75% if I'm not mistaken. If you have enough internal RAM does it matter to use the paging file at all?

I am not sure, but have mine set at 85% on all my pc's and don't see any problems.

It wont use the paging file if it has sufficient memory. The settings is how much of it that its allowed to use, assuming you have started paging.

If your system is paging then you are already in trouble and should look at what you can do to free up memory, install more physical memory, etc.
