Thanks, and forgive the name lol, i was only experimenting if i could change
my name and as a joke prior i just wanted to see if i could create an
account with a name of oswald lol, i forgot to put it back lol. Thanks for
the information.
What i have taken from the information is, that the memory that is not
intensive gets put to pagefile, so xp will put the memory that is needed for
operation to physical ram and what is not necessarily needed for physical to
the virtual? thanks
