Dear Scott, David and Alex, Thanks for the info on the RAM allocation.
Where do I turn the paging/swapping off? Is it obvious? Do I do it in
Fusion?
Thanks again, Simon

Hi Simon,
If you are going to alocate two gig to xp you can turn off the
paging file or the sawap file. This can speed an speed up win xp
quite a bit.

HI Simon,
I'd use no more then 2gb as Window xp doesn't make use of ram above
that.
Since you have 4gb in your system, I'd go for 2gb and if you have any
problems, decrease the ram by 256 until the problems cease.

Subject: RAM allocation and vmware fusion
Dear Listers,
In your experience, when running windows XP in bootcamp but via
vmware
fusion, how much RAM would you allocate to vmware fusion? I have
upgraded my RAM to 4 GB. Considering that I want the snappiest system
possible, and that I will be running Jaws with Windows, how much RAM
allocation do you recommend?
Thanks for your help. With best wishes, Simon
