Swap File Size?

[Tim Miskimon]

Hi,
I was reading over the computer tweaks suggested by Bob a few weeks ago.
It was said to set both the min & max Swap file size to the same value.
I have 750 mb of ram on my machine & I was wondering what is the best value for my memory size?
I was letting Windows XP making the adjustments - though I haven't had any problems I was just checking to see if it was possible to get a little bit more performance out of my machine...
:D

Tim,

For some real fun you could try disabling it altogether. With 750MB you should be fine (as long as you don't run a pile of applications all at the same time).

Just a thought... Otherwise I think the rule of thumb is set it to half the quantity of ram you have. Personally, when I used to set this min/max I would set it to the same size as the ram I had.

Tim,

on my (rather old) machine I have it set fixed to 500MB for years and never had a problem. You could try with a bit more but I doubt that 1 GB would improve anything.
