    Here's a trick for XP users to get a bit more out of their systems

    in General Discussion

    Thats the same thing as The Reverend suggested, he suggested to use the value windows recommend and that happens to be 1,5 x your RAM

    quote from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308417#31

    "For best performance, do not set the initial size to less than the minimum recommended size under Total paging file size for all drives. The recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the RAM on your computer. It is good practice to leave the paging file at its recommended size. However, you may increase its size if you frequently use programs that use much memory."

    i also agree to move the swapfile to the fastest disc or partition

    I haven't changed mine in a while. I read through VanBuren's message to fast.  :oops:

    Here's a trick for XP users to get a bit more out of their systems

    This is for XP Home or Professional (SP1 and SP2)

    1  On your desktop, right-click on My Computer

    2  Left-click on Properties (which will bring up your System Properties Dialogue Box)

    3  Left-click on the Advanced Tab

    4  At the top, under Performance, click on Settings

    5  Now the Performance Options box should be open.  Click on the Advanced Tab for it.

    6  At the bottom, under Virtual Memory, click on the Change button

    7  Now, at the bottom of this window where it says "Total Paging File size for all drives, it has a "Recommended" number stated in MBs (remember this number)!

    8  Above it, click on the button so that it enables "Custom Size", and for the Initial size (MB) ...put in the same number that is stated in "Recommended"

    9  Now, click on the button that says "Set"

    10 At the top (for Drive C or whatever it is named, it should now say that your Paging File Size is between the Recommended Number and the Maximum Size Number

    11 Click on "OK" three times to make your way out of there.

    Now your computer should run just a bit smoother and faster.  For most users, even though XP doesn't prompt you to, it is best to reboot so that you are sure the change will take effect.  (Just to be safe, please make a System Restore Point prior to doing this JUST IN CASE the unforeseen happens)!   (horrors)!

    You should see a noticeable difference in system performance, especially if you have a good deal of memory to "play" with.  Even with minimal memory, this little trick will help you get the most out of your resources!  If you like it, make another System Restore Point just in case your computer 'forgets' the new settings!

    Cheers!

    Another recommedation I've heard is to have your virtual/paging memory 1.5 times the amount of ram you have. e.g.:256MB RAM +384MB virtual. If you have 2 HDD's, it's better to put the virtual memory on the faster one.

    Are we going to get 1000 members before the end of the year?

    TOLD YA SO!  :evil6:

    You were doubting 1000 by january 1st and now it's barely the 11th and it's already 1400

    Now, for January it looks like a total of about 720+ new members, at least 500 more from the date of this post.

    2 more months I expect 1200+ new members per month, we will see how my prediction does... lots of people to talk to.  :)

    Of corse we will. Just check the stats page:
