page file

After the PC has been running for a while, the page file becomes 'loaded.' I'd like to know if there is any way to refresh the page file without restarting Windows. By refresh, I mean removing any info that was placed in there during the current session. I do not mean defragmenting it. Thank...

After my computer has been running for some time (maybe days), it gets really slow. I found a great memory manager that cleans the memory. I was wondering if there was a way to clean the Page File without rebooting. BTW, I use Process Explorer so I know there is nothing running that shouldn't...

I just added another 4GB of ram to my PC for a total of 8GB but as I type this, the task manager is showing me 277MB of free ram with there is 5307MB of available ram. What is the difference and which is preferable? I'm not using a page file so I don't want any problems with my system.

1. if i put my page file swap file temp folder on its own partition, is it best to use fat32? if i remember right fat 32 is fastest just isnt the best for space usage. 2. does reinstalling windows after time (1-2 years) create better performance? im not sure what it is but windows xp and...
