These forums can seriously damage your health! You go to post a question but then see another interesting post to read, and then another, and then another..... and when you finally get round to it, an hour of your life has just flashed past!!!! Anyway, l digress. Hope this is the right forum.
Running XP (SP3) with 1gb Ram.
C Drive - 28.6gb and F Drive 233gb both with ample space availble.
When l'm burning a dvd, the computer really slows down if l try and do other things as well. As stated above, it's taken me ages to get to this point! Yes, more ram is needed for sure, but can't afford it at the moment.
In System Properties, my current advanced settings for performance options are:-
Processor Scheduling - Set for best performance of programs
Memory Usage - Set for best performance of programs
Virtual Memory - Total paging file size for all drives is 1534mb
If l go into the change virual memory function, the custom settings for the C drive is 1534mb for both initial and maximum and the F drive is blank with the no paging file button checked.
For now, is there another way to get the most use out of the 1gb l have and should these settings be changed?
Do these so called memory monitor products actually work?
Many thanks as usual
PS Good, a quick mod because no ones looked at this yet. Bu33er, there's another post earlier on about virtual space which l didn't spot, but l think that my post isn't exactly the same. Sorry if it is!
