I did this procedure so Skyrim would use more than 2GB of my RAM. Unfortunately, I did not save an original TESV.exe file which apparently you need for updates. (the tutorial didn't mention it till the very end) So if I just move the altered TESV.exe file out of the Skyrim folder , will Steam see it's missing and install a new TESV.exe? thanks.

Why would I want to cause issues? All I can tell you is I have smoother gameplay w/ no pagefile and SuperFetch disabled. I can only speak to a gaming performance increase. Maybe having a web browser, iTunes, etc.. all open at once would be adversely affected by my changes.

I think the dedicated drive I had my pagefile on was too slow.... or faulty. I'm not sure which change (no pagefile or disabling SuperFetch) got rid of the stutter. Again, this could only apply to my rig.

Hey, I have 4GB of RAM and two HD 4850s in Xfire mode. Running Windows 7 64-bit. And I have the dx9.dll fix installed. I was pulling my hair out trying to get rid of frame rate drops and stuttering. In desperation, I disabled SuperFetch and set my pagefile to "none" .... Amazing. All settings maxed out / V-sync enabled ... 60 fps finally! No hiccups. I can finally enjoy the wasteland. Individual results may vary. ___________________________ CPU: Core2 E8500 (o'cd to 4GHz @ 1.25***volts) Heatsink: Freezer 7 Pro Motherboard: Gigabyte X48-DS4 Graphics: HIS Radeon HD4850 IceQ4 TurboX (2 in XfireX ) Memory: 4GB Dominator 1060Mhz PSU: Corsair 750w OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
