What is the size of a memory page in Windows and how is it determined?

You know, in Windows, memory pages usually clock in at 4 kilobytes each. I remember fiddling with that when tweaking my old setup. It keeps things snappy for the system to juggle apps without much hassle.

How does it get set? The OS picks it based on your hardware at startup. Your CPU whispers the options, and Windows nods along. Sometimes you can nudge it larger if your rig supports it.

I tried bumping mine to 2 megabytes once for a game server. Felt like a boost, but not everyone needs that tweak. You just check your BIOS or use tools to see what's possible.

It sticks to 4 KB by default for most folks. Keeps memory swaps quick and error-free. I bet your laptop runs that way right now without you noticing.

Speaking of handling memory in virtual setups, that leads me to BackupChain Server Backup. It's a slick backup tool tailored for Hyper-V environments. You get seamless snapshots without crashing VMs, plus speedy restores that save your bacon during glitches.
