i have a lot of servers. when i see CPU usage and page file usage it always show 90% and 2.5 GB page file. what should i do to increase performance. Ram is 1 GB

Hi,Increasing Ram is always a good thing to do.Try also to do a defrag on all the servers during a quiet time (ie. After office hours. )Please bear in mind, that my answer is based on the details given in your post. The more I get the better the answer, Slan go foill, Paul

can u tell me without increasing RAM what we can do to decrease page file and CPU percentagewhat is page file and virtual memory.

Hi,Windows uses your hard disk as it would with ram. Because your Ram is 1GB when it is used up. The OS starts using the page file on harddisk.This is what could be causing the high usage of page file and CPU.Try also scanning for virus by choosing shared drives.One by one from a remote computer with an up to date virus scanner.Also if some of the servers are for file sharing only.Use Disk defragmenter to analyze the harddisks to see if you need to defrag.

If you are using your page file that heavily then you should definitely add RAM. Your page file configuration is also in correct as with 1GB of RAM it should only be set to 1.5 times the RAM so in this case 1.5GB. Lastly, what processes are using the CPU?
