Please forgive me but I need to ask for help again and this is because I just can't remember some tech tips as I am not always tweeking computers. I have been setting up a computer for my Grandson (see Graphic Card thread) I seem to remember there was a way to optimize Windows XP by setting the System cache, Virtual memory or Page File size (don't remember which)to certain values but can't recall exactly what that was or even if I am right. Was there something to this or am I just crazy?

Yes, you're just crazy, GreyFuss! Sorry, I couldn't resist! This page tells you how to set the paging file size and there are some other links on managing the performance options in XP. Changing Paging FIle Size

Thanks Tomato Queen I think you are right about the crazy Thank you for the link. So the optimum page file size is 1.5 times the actual physical memory (RAM) So should the "Initial Size MB" and the "Maximum Size MB" be set to the same number? For example if there is 2000mb (2GB) of physical RAM then both should be set at 3000mb (3GB)?
