Two part question, and any help is appreciated.
1. I recently purchased a G.Skill Phoenix Pro 120GB Solid State Drive and when I went to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate it only showed 110gb available. I could see there was 10gb used for something, but I did not know what. So I installed Windows and now I only have 90gb from a 120gb drive. Is this normal? If not, do I need to reinstall Windows in some other way?
2. I have heard that I should do away with the page file on my SSD because it will cause it is not good for the drive. I have 8 gigs of ram and I heard that because I had 8 gigs there would be no adverse effect from turning off the page file? Good move or bad?
Thanks!
