Before I go on…here are my PC specs as of this morning.
PII-233
Win ME
192MB
4G HD
6G HG
Voodoo5 5500
(And so on…)
I just installed another 128MB giving me a total of 320MB.
Everything works great! But when I went into Explorer, I noticed my swap file is 0(Zero)k.
(I have my system tweaked right up adn the only things I have running at boot up are Zone Alarm, GetRight!, and MemTurbo. I have ICQ and two browser windows running now and still no swap file.)
IIRC from a cnet artical. No matter how much ram you have, you should have some swap file. I think the reason is that parts of the mem (low, conventioal mem) are easier to access then other (higher mem add’s). windows swaps out rarely needed code to swap file leaving more mem available for apps. If you are using an OS that is not based on the DOS kernal then I don’t think it matters.
