Hi everyone, well as promised i upgraded my memory ! What a difference ! I still have one niggle though....since i upgraded to 256 RAM i still got this message once..'virtually memory too low'...
Does it matter ? ...i have set the swap file thing to one and a half times the RAM size....
Marge.:D
 
if you've only gotten the message once, then I wouldn't worry about it;

as far as setting the pf to 1.5 your ram...that's fine, if you've allowed the maximum to be at least 3x the 1.5 figure.

if you have the minimum and maximum set to the same value, no, 384 will almost definately cause slowdowns when you start to use or load sophisticated programs...it's definately too small.

my recomendation, a no miss...is pf 2x ram, with expansion to 3x the figure.

dissregard any advice you've heard claiming a static page file is preferred...it is not

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
