Ram types?

[Apokalipse]

your FSB is 533MHZ also

what's your paging file set to?
chances are, you're not filling up the RAM because of paging

mine is set to 768mb and i have 1.5gb's of ram, what is it best to set it to??

 

[Apokalipse]

you could probbably set it to 2MB and be fine ^^
some programs require paging file for some reason, so having 2MB is enough to satisfy the program that there is paging file, but it will be using mostly RAM

Hmm.....well....this is going to sound really noobish, BUT, I've never really understood the Paging File and where I go to set it. Anyone provide a quick explination to help ole nubius out

right click on My Computer, properties, go to advanced tab, performance settings, click on its advanced tab, and down the bottom there should be virtual memory settings

it is basically using part of the hard drive as RAM so that you have more than just your main memory, although it is slower

about 100 + times slower

Ahh I see, mines default at 768, guess I should lower it
