| 232572 | 2004-04-28 00:17:00 | just seen this little article (www.osnn.net). it can a bit of a mouthfull but it does make some good points. Windows XP is a Virtual Memory Operating system There is nothing you can do to prevent virtual memory There is nothing you can do to prevent paging in the NT kernel |

| 232574 | 2004-04-28 01:59:00 | XP/NT is therefore quite different to Windows 98 in the way memory and paging files are handled. This article explains what i was doing wrong when I first played with XP. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 232575 | 2004-04-28 06:42:00 | Well, I guess if you had 1Gb of ram, you could just use 512mb for regular use, and the other 512mb use as a ram disk and put the paging file on there. Basically if windows is always going to use the virtual memory, you can at least trick it into thinking its using a hard drive, but actually its using the ram. | PoWa (203) | ||
