What is the usual culprit when there is entirely too much disk
swapping even with 1gb of ram and when the computer is idle?
Are you sure that it is actual disk swapping (= moving active memory
content back and forth between RAM and the paging file) or is it
possible that there is some other type of disk activity occurring.
Possiblities include:
- Indexing service
- Antivirus and/or antispyware software
- Automatic software and/or driver update utilities.
- Instant messaging software
