Units for Pagefile Size

[Elzar's Spice Weasel]

Simple question. Is this setting going to give me an 8 GB pagefile or an 8 MB pagefile? I have been unable to find documentation on what the units are in those particular settings.

Page files are measured in MB's, just like in Advanced system settings.
8 GB = 8192 MB

reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v PagingFiles

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
    PagingFiles    REG_MULTI_SZ    c:\pagefile.sys 1234 5678

Makes sense. Thanks.

Unless it's an old or slow CPU on a HD - never CPU's and SSD will make stationary/ laptop work fine without a Pagefile:
