Nevermind all those "ram-defraggers. They use up more memory than they free up..
Try typing this into the run command box..."Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks"....
This frees up and flushes unused .dlls ,processes etc

Edit: Rundell32 didnt seem to clear nething up either...

What he meant was to open the Run dialog, enter the whole thing in together and hit Return. It's just one command.Originally posted by bigdawgfoxx@10 November 2003 - 01:25

if your font size is this small i'll add you to my ignore list because you're wasting my time, OK?

Ohhh ok, I tried that...still didnt do anything. So should I just take back the new RAM? as i still had 190MB free with 320MB total? cuz I dont see any speed increase? I think thats what I should do. Also how do you limit your page file.

Jeez, don't 'ya just love drilldown menus?
Decide which disk you want the pagefile to be on and then set Custom Size.
Make the upper and lower sizes the same or Windows will screw around changing the size constantly.
Mine is set to 500Mb.

well your computer is basically using your hard drive as a extra 765mn ram! as you havent got to much ram in your system i reccomend keeping it at its current levelOriginally posted by bigdawgfoxx@11 November 2003 - 04:10

There is no "right" size, you just have to play around and see what works for you.
I have 1GB of RAM and have added some registry tweaks which ( in theory) keep Windows from dipping into the pagefile until all of the RAM is depleted.
XP just loves to spread itself all around and I was seeing that even when I had tons of free RAM laying about that Windows was using the pagefile also. Seemed very inefficient ( the pagefile is much slower than your RAM) so I have attempted to fix it.
Hard to tell if it makes any difference really.
