It is recommended that you set it to other partitions, not the partition where the default system is located, which can increase the read and write speed of the page file, which is conducive to the fast running of the system. According to Microsoft's recommendations, the page file should be set to 1.5 times the memory capacity, but if your memory is relatively large, the space it takes up is also very considerable, so it is recommended that if the memory capacity is below 256MB, it is set to 1.5 times.

For some reason, Windows XP sometimes uses the PIO parallel input to output transmission mode on the IDE channel, not DMA mode.
