Oh yeh, I forgot to mention this, but certain versions of windows (XP being one) limit the max page file size to 4.1gb if you use the control panel utility to set the VM. This applies to the max on the MINIMUM setting as well. This was done, I'm sure, because of the threshhold limit by many programs. However, the max setting can be overridden with a few registry hacks :). I still wouldn't suggest setting the minimum value above 2gb though. And logically there is really no need to go above 3 or 4 gb on the maximum unless your an impatient bastage like me who likes to run two or three high end apps at once (while surfing the net)heheh but, of course your always risking a system crash when running too many high end apps at the same time :(. I'm pretty satisfied with XP pro and is memory handling capabilities and stability. It rarely crashes even under the heaviest of loads. ---Will
