Windows page file

0

I'm working on some CGI and am running out of RAM as well as page file space. However I have a second drive with a little extra space I could use for swapping. I have one question:

If the swap space is spread across multiple drives, will all of it be accessible to a single application?

Thanks.

Windows 7 x64, 3GB RAM

FYI: Windows will not automatically add swap space to a second drive you have to do it manually. – cybernard – 2014-01-12T04:11:08.937

I configured two 40GB swap files. One on each of two partitions. – posfan12 – 2014-01-12T20:08:46.483

Just get a cheap 1tb hard drive and make it all swap. – cybernard – 2014-01-12T21:08:33.883

Yes, all virtual memory is available no matter which drive the page file or application is on.
