Hi, this is probably a total noob question, but thought I'd ask here as Google didn't come up with the answer.
I was messing about the other night with the MSI AB OSD while gaming (Tomb Raider) just to see what was being used in my system. Now I can't remember the exact numbers but it basically said I was using X amount of RAM and X amount of Pagefile. The amount of RAM that was being used was no where near the max (16GB DDR3 1600Mhz), though I can't remember the exact amount. It also said I was using about 3GB of Pagefile.
My question is why would I be using any Pagefile if I was using no where near my max amount of RAM? I always thought Pagefile was only used if the RAM limit was it.
Cheers
