Re: [XP] Swap file question

1) Question #1, how is your machine running? You can check memory and virtual memory in the Task Manager and get a flavor for how much swapping is going on.

2) How much RAM do you have?

You may be worrying about nothing. If you have adequate RAM and if you set a large enough Swap file and keep it contiguous (ie. don't mess around with the size) you should be OK.

I agree with EmmettUS in his statements above.

The real answer depends on what applications you run on your machine and how you satisfy their hunger for memory.

Re: [XP] Swap file question

Yea I guess I could have done a little more research before I posted. I have 1024MB Physical, 3612 Total, and only 125MB Used after some normal use. I guess I am worrying about nothing. I will watch the monitor after some heavy use and see, but I don't think I am even touching the swap file. Thanks for the replies.

Re: [XP] Swap file question

There are features in other defragmentors, perfectDisk, Diskeeper that allow you to do more defrag operations at boot. I have N SYSworks but don't use Speed Disk, I have used the old versions and like it. XP/NTFS has more file/disk protection built in so there is only so much you can do when the OS is completely loaded. I'm not really sure if N Speed Disk has some of the features that the other 2 defrag programs has.
