Okay, I have 1 gig of RAM on the motherboard and my video card is the Radeon 9700 Pro with I think 32 mb on it, if that helps at all. Winders - I like that! :-) I call Microsoft - Microsuck. Do I have to set the swap file on my C drive or can I set it on another drive? Also, by chance do you understand the process it goes through to use memory? Does it use all of the RAM before going to the swap file? Does it ever use all of the RAM, or is there a setting you have to change to tell it to do that?
