Re: Installing Extra RAM

David

That's not the debate you were having with Leonard as it looked to me.
It was pointless because pursuing it as you both did did not achieve
much for either of you.

I answer a lot of questions in these newsgroups relating to managing
memory. There is no one solution suits all. I am not convinced that
system managed is the best solution but there you are. We all have our
funny ideas.

in set the swap file from factory fixed size (it's still set to the
proper size for the original 128 or 256MB) to system managed, problem
solved.

Your point is correct but the point David B and Leonard were at
loggerheads over was a different point. A bit of a pointless debate
because the pagefile sizing assumptions by Microsoft were, with the
advent of larger drives, demonstrably wrong. The late Alex Nichol
pointed this out in his still relevant Article in 2004.
