| 287738 | 2004-11-04 03:30:00 | is there a way to make the computer use it's physical memory first before starting to get into pagefile? i'm running win2k and right now there's 181/375Mb of physical ram still free but pagefile is using around 200/511Mb can't the system use till ther's like 10Mb of physical ram left before using page file? or would using the phy ram to max make comp slower? |

| 287742 | 2004-11-04 05:14:00 | There is a registry hack to force XP to use all available memory before using the pagefile, but i can't find it. Will post back when I do |

| 287743 | 2004-11-04 05:19:00 | If you disable the pagefile XP creates one by itself unfortunately in my experience... 1.5GB RAM - disabled page files - XP created a 1.5GB page file in C:\ Grrr... |

| 287744 | 2004-11-04 08:35:00 | You just have to let W2k/XP do its own thing in managing memory, it's not like Win98. Two references have been added to the bottom of FAQ #37 (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz), which explain the way virtual memory works, and why there will always be a substantial page file. |
