Simon,
You can find the setting under the control panel in system, I think
that it is under proformance. There is a tab with memory and virtual
alocation. choose memory alocation. Choose do not use a pageing
file. This will require a reboot.
While you are doing this you could turn off system restore, because
you can just take snapshots with fusion. This will give you better
proformance by its self. You can also go under proformance and change
the setting to optimize for aplications or proformance in stead of
leaving it up to windows. Please forgive me for how bad this message
is written. I do not have a lot of time, I am still getting use to
the mail aplication, switching to windows. I will answer any
questions that you may have later today. I hope that this gets you
going anyway. Have a great day.

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
