I just bought last week a new Graphics Card for my 3RD ranking computer (that is third down on the totum poll). When I bought that the technician, who is a patron of my bar, recommended staying away from the NVIDIA site. I wasn't sure if you guys support the Shuttle because you sell it or not. I keep hearing about it, but I am anchored in the old days where a computer needs to be a big ugly box under my desk
As far as the graphics, I allocate the 1/2 because I do gaming and other graphics intense stuff. I can't do just karaoke all the time! After all, if I didn't shoot things on my computer I might have to shoot a karaoke singer who expects me to know all 9200 songs in my library!
As to the pagefile, I always look at ways of speeding up the system. A pagefile isn't always needed with so much memory. Anything the computer is using at one time could be loaded into memory which is a lot faster than the HDD where the page files is stored, nanoseconds versus milliseconds.

I went to NVIDIA's site and downloaded the latest version of their drivers.

This is where I got concerned over the NVIDIA drivers... I would surely trust the drivers made available from Microsoft because they are by manufacturer of the board (usually) and it usually means it has been checked out by Microsoft. Doesn't change that he claims to have gotten them from NVIDIA direct. That doesn't mean that there is the problem, just it could be suspect.
Hope there is some help in what I said.
