Windows provides the System Monitor to help you monitor paging. To access it, select the object Logical Disk, the instance of the disk containing the file PAGEFILE.SYS, and the counter Disk Transfers/Sec. This should be on a separate disk from your database files. You can also monitor the Object Memory and the counter Pages/Sec. However, this value is the sum of all memory faults which includes both soft and hard faults.
