Thanks for your input about my enquiry regarding putting 4gb of RAM in my PC.
Here's another question for you!
I understand that it's generally considered good practice to have a Paging File that's 1 and half times that of your RAM. However, if I were to have 4gb of RAM I wonder if I could get away with using much less.
A while back I tweaked my Registry to get Windows to use up the RAM first before resorting to VM - this is the tweak:
HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management - set DisablePagingExecutive = 1 (Forces Windows to use RAM before the Paging File)
I gather that it's not a good idea to set the VM to zero as some Windows tasks will not work but could I get away with a nominal amount of say 100mb??
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
