| 99163 | 2002-11-20 03:48:00 | comp future say theirs is 'A grade' ram, made in oz (they're real salesmen!) and works out at only $11 more expensive and a lot closer (thinking pessimistically of future trouble) and also since that is what I bought 3 months before (for $125!!), I know it works in this comp. Thanks for the help guys---I'll go and spend!! |

| 99165 | 2002-11-20 09:41:00 | >From my understanding this was rectified in winME (which i run) it continues to be a problem in 95 but in 98 and ME itself you can add a line to your system.ini that tells the computer to use as much ram as possible. Is this a fact? How do I go about adding this line to my System .ini (comfortabe with registry changes) Win ME 384 Ram |

| 99166 | 2002-11-20 10:16:00 | under 386Enh put in ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 be aware i've had problems with this causeing glitches in games. properly due to the sudden use of the swapfile when the ram gets full. also if you are have large amounts of ram installed it might pay to (and if you have 512+ ram you WILL need to) tweak the vcache settings eg ChunkSize=512 MinFileCache=16384 MaxFileCache=98304 |

| 99167 | 2002-11-20 20:01:00 | Tweake this glitch you refer to, is it a BSOD caused by VMM32 I seem to have been able to rectify that one by having a fixed swapfile. Mind you considering your an expert you probably have a fixed swapfile also. |

| 99168 | 2002-11-20 20:51:00 | the "glitch" is not a BSOD. its just a wee pause which during a FPS game is NOT acceptable. i don't run a fixed swap file. otherwise i would run into "out of memory errors". i just have a minimum swapfile size set (nortons does it anyway). windows likes to keep a little bit of the ram free so its easy to load new data into ram. if the ram is totaly full it will have to swap data out to the swapfile before loading new data into the ram. hence the wee pause. |
