d3bruts1d Posted July 5, 2002 Posted July 5, 2002 Yes... it's also set up by default when the OS is installed... Normally set arround 1.5x your total ammount of memory... For best preformace, set the min and max values to the same number, and throw the page/swap file on a HD (or across multiple hardrives) that is different that where you system resides. Also, for fast gaming, remember to limit the appz you have running to as few as possible *that includes background and taskbar apps)... also check out the OCC guide to tweaking XP Services...
