   In addition to disabling the pagefile system, I disabled a   
   couple more things:   
      
      
       Disable Background auto-layout:   
      
   Key Name:   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Op   
   timalLayout Value Name: EnableAutoLayout Type: REG_DWORD Value:   
   0   
      
      
       Disable Prefetch   
      
   Key:   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session   
   Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters Name:   
   EnablePrefetcher Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0   
      
      
   The above made perfect sense.   
      
      
   But I am not too sure I want to do this one:   
      
      
       Disable update of filesystem's "last access timestamps"   
      
   "Key Name:   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem   
   Name: NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1   
      
      
   All of the above are from this article:

   windows-xp-for-ssd-solid-state-disk-operation/   
      
   Thoughts.. anyone?
