When i play crysis i use 80% of my ram and it will minimize and ask me to close the following program which is crysis, does this like every 3-4 mins. i have the page file turned off and i really dont want to turn it on. I have 2 gigs of ram. Can i turn this off? I am tired of vista getting me killed on crysis. I am going to add more ram later.

DO NOT turn off you pagefile! It does absolutely NOTHING to improve performance... and as you can see... it actually degrades performance. If you want to make it a fixed size or move it to another drive, that's fine... but you're only shooting yourself in the foot by turning it off.

Quoted for Truth.

Btw.. who told you to turn your page file off?

Update the latest drivers for your graphics card and run a memory diagnostics test to see if any of your RAM is faulty.
