[d1rX 0]

hey

 

i ran into some problems with virtual memory

i reduced it cuz i been told that Rune editor suppose to run better ....lol

i reduced it from 93-130 to 20-90

it worked like crap...so i changed it back.

but no improvements...programs load so slow i can go make tea or something

 

specs:

 

10GB and 20GB HD's, 20gig one cut into 3.

biggest partition is 10 gig and is for win2k

win2k + sp1

athlon 700 + abit mobo, via chip

128 of 133 ram

geforce ddr

sblive

couple of nics

 

worked fine before but something made me change those fregen settings ;[

i dont feel like reinstalling, i have too much to backup

Your swap file is probably fragmented. If you don't have a third-party defragmenter that will defragment the swapfile (Windows 2000 defragmenter won't) then set your swapfile down extremely small. Defragment your hard drive, then reset the swapfile.

do u know any good 3rd party defragmenter ?

With 128 MB ram, you should set your page file to min AND max of 192MB or 200 if it makes you feel any better

 

Get a trial version of diskeeper and let it do a pagefile defrag after you set it, this may help

Diskeeper or Norton Utilities will both defragment your swap file.

SysInternals has a free utility called PageDefrag which will defrag the pagefile ("swap" file) and the registry hives at boot time.

O&O Defrag (shareware version) will also defrag the MFT and meta-data.

hmmmm i defraged hole HD with O&O but when i reboot, check disk runs and tries to defrag the pagefile since it has 9 fragments

but then it says: Nothing to do and starts windows without even touching the pagefile

i tried that other prog too but i guess it O&O overwrites the registry with its own....

hmmm is the pagefile suppose to be 9 frags ?
