I've always set manual mode on all my PC's,..

2GB Minimum (Saving the Default 8-16GB default minimums)
32GB Maximum, I used to use 16GB, now 32, as time goes on, probably move to 64GB..

I have plenty of SSD space and it HARDLY actually gets used..
I just open the Taps,.. and leave it be.

would there be any performance gain or stability issues by just turning off paging? i also have 32 gigs so there shouldnt be much reason for page files aside from windows being dumb

@VeganJoy stability issues maybe maybe not the pagefile is used for things in memory i.e. it will move things out of memory and into the page file if they arent needed or being used right away to free up more physical ram for what is needed so not having a page file isnt that bad but it does cause windows to use more of your physical; ram

40Gb? Just no. You are all good with using 8Gb or 16Gb. It just needs to be enough to juggle around stuff from certain software.
