hey. i finished reading both the win xp guides and did alot of the stuff it said to do and notice an increase in the loading of some applications, but that's not what this is about
i was thinking that since winxp uses the paging file (virtual memory) basically like extended ram, would it not be ok to disable the paging file if i have enough ram. windows still has its own virtual memory even if you disable it. i have already done this and have noticed no problems so far with stability. i have notices some programs acting differently, but not badly (ie. photoshop); and when i multitask between a game (ie simcity 4) and into windows to im or check the internet i gets kinda hectic. i just wanna know if there is any reason that i really should have paging file. I was also thinking that if there was any slowness or anything, couldn't i just get more ram?
My Computer Stats:
1.2ghz amd thunderbird (if it ain't broke don't fix it!)
system clock running at 100mhz (so 12.0x100)
512mb pc133 ram
geforce2 mx 64mb
