i've looked there and don't know what's going on...i guess i need detail.
i'm sorry, i normally can do these kinds of things.
It's cool
. Let me go through this once more.
Change swapfile size and change swapfile drive:
- right click my computer.
- click on properties.
- click on advanced.
- click on settings under the performance section (visual effects,processer scheduling,memory usage,and virtual memory)
- click on advanced (next window)
- click change under virutual memory (you'll all your hard drives)
- choose custom size
- set your swapfile to zero (0) for initial size.
- set your swapfile to zero (0) for maximum size.
- click on set.
- click on the drive you want your swapfile to be on (example: drive D : )
- choose custom size.
- set initial size to aprox 1 1/2 of your ram. (1gb= 1536)
- set maximum size to the same as initial size (1536)
- click on set.
- click on ok and close all windows (reboot if windows prompts.
there I hope I did not miss something to further confuse the situation.
it helps but not an earth shattering difference
As praetor pointed out. It does help but not a world of difference but whith this small yet simple change as well as many others that can be performed such as turning off unneeded services can greatly improve overal performance of the operating system.
