Answer» i have a question,
i run win32 XP pro SP2 with 4 gig ram i do know that windows xp only have a maximum memory usage of about 3.5 gig if i disable my swap do i have possibility to get more memory out of of my ram?
and is swap needed if i run with 4 gig ram?The areas of RAM that are not used by XP over 3__G are reserved RAM addresses and wouldn't get used anyways even if you turned off your PAGEFILE...swap is always needed. XP can act really weird WITHOUT any swap FILE, no matter how much RAM you have.Here is some good reading....
