Dunno, but it's easy enough to change the session manager options....
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management In particular - the large system cache option will lift more of the kernel into ram - this may or may not be advantageous - look at page faults for your processes - might be a good idea to get pmon from systeminternals. disablepagingexecutive will page less data during general system run time, this is not always an advantage as windows dynamic paging algorithm is quite strong. there is another option you can add here to change your IOPageLockLimit (key not there by default), this allows you to specify the amount of ram windows will allow for IO paging operations. dexion wrote:
Hi all, Just wondering about something. I have all windows2003 boxes and run multiple instances of hlds and srcds. I notice for instance that if I run x bumber of servers I am using 1.6 gigs of ram total, but only about 1000 of that would be in the actual physical ram. The rest is is virtual. I have 2 gigs of ram per box. My question would be, is there any performance gain in trying to push more of the hlds/srcds process into physical ram? I dont really experience any problems, but I would like to use the ram as opposed the virtual since I have it why not use it if there is a benefit. Would the -heapsize switch help since I do not use it? Anyone out there know how to get windows to be more sparing with the virtual and push more into physical ram? Why would the os want to use any virtual since im under the physical ram in the first place? Seems silly. tia dex _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
