| 502961 | 2006-11-30 09:50:00 | yeah i know it runs sweet as on my 6600gt, amd 2600, and 1gb of ram, it was made so much better than bf2, i dont have graphics pumped right up but its higher than what i had bf2 on and i get MUCH better fps and hit reg. | jesse_jax (9283) | ||
| 502962 | 2006-11-30 11:12:00 | "Another thing that bugged me was that widows would start using swapfile space when the ram was only half used up, so I turned on conservative swapfile usage. That way it won't use it unless it really needs to. Been setting my system up this way for many many years." Start/Run type msconfig: in System.ini edit the [386Enh] section of the file, on a new line type: ConservativeSwapFileUsage=1 (leave a single blank line between the last line in [386Enh] and the next section) This is what I do in XP, you do this at your own risk jesse_jax. |

| 502964 | 2006-11-30 11:29:00 | and what exactly will this do, as im not so keen on editing system files, but if it fixes it i will. | jesse_jax (9283) | ||
| 502965 | 2006-11-30 11:42:00 | Instead of using swapfile your computer will use ram. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 502966 | 2006-11-30 11:59:00 | possible side effects? | jesse_jax (9283) | ||
| 502967 | 2006-11-30 12:06:00 | None, that I know of, it works just fine on my XPpro instal. "Instead of using swapfile your computer will use ram." after/and if all the ram is used up then the swapfile will be used as usual. If you don't like the result you should just untick the entry in Msconfig and then delete it if you decide there is no benefit. |
