"Virtual memory is managed by Windows"

[peterchen]

But how? is there any documentation for choosing/limiting the swap file size (and thus, maximum virtual memory available)? P.S. Since the most recent reply in "Operating System" is over one week old, I took the freedom to ask here. Flame if you must.

You can manually set the swap drive and the swap file size. This is said to improve speeds though I never tried it out. Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

But how? is there any documentation for choosing/limiting the swap file size (and thus, maximum virtual memory available)? If you are asking how to do it: on Windows NT 4, do the following: 1. Open the control panel. 2. Double click the "Systems" icon. 3. Go to the "Performance" tab. 4. Click the "Change" button. 5. Make whatever changes and save. 6. Reboot, of course :)

This article has some useful tips. I usually make a partition of 1 to 2GB on the HD just for page files. This helps prevent it from becoming fragmented.
