You are correct that you can set the swap file size on NT and it's
derivatives.  However, you won't get the tremendous performance increase,
nor can you control the amount of memory used for disk caching.

It has to be Win95, 98, or ME, since NT and it's descendents don't have

this

control.

Huh? I am running XP Pro and have set my swapfile/pagefile manually to

512MB

max/min. I was unaware that I couldn't do that.

I went and set my vitural mem from letting Windows manage it, to

"Let

me

specify my own" and set it 10 times my 128megs of ram as I read on

the

Setispy site, and now on a 400Mhz Celeron WUs that were taking right

around

20hrs to process now take around 14-15...I also since I don't use my

CR-ROM,

went and reduced its cache to save some more resources.

Well now I have been getting a 4-5 hr gain of speed, which is quite
impressive.  My machine also boots up a whole lot faster.

Just passing this on if others would like to see if they can gain a

little

time.
