is this nessasarily a good thing?

Hi Guys,

so this person
I dealing with is being difficult here,

are such things really necessary? or are the gains negligible at best?

they want me to set all PC's to use all cores by default, via the MSCONFIG menu

like this exactly:
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers...er-cores-msconfig-affects-computer-speed.html

and set the Page file to recommended size here

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com...file-sys-on-windows-8-or-windows-server-2012/

I did this, but I wanted to ask for a second opinion,
is such a setting necessarily good to work with? or are their claims negligible at best?

does anybody here use similar settings on their win 10 pro PC's or am I wasting my time here?

Wasting your damn time, actually if you have more than 12GB or more RAM you should turn off pagefile.

The client gets what the clients wants if they still want it after you have expressed your opinion on the matter.

Exactly what I thought, waste of time and unnecessary.

At least somebody else agree with me.

The changes you made basically amounted to disabling hyper-threading, which you can do in the motherboard BIOS. Disabling the page file doesn't really need to be done these days either. I leave it on, on the off-chance that some software wants to use it as a temporary storage space or a scratchpad.
