What is the function of the pagefilesys file?
PAGEFILE.SYS is the virtual memory file Windows uses. Typically,
on install, Windows sets the size of the file at around 1.5 times
your physical memory size however this size will vary depending on
the amount of free space on the disk when the file is established
and other factors. Most will find the default size works fine but
it can be changed.
