Thats up to you, it will do no permanent damage, and unless
IOPageLockLimit is set to a completely arbritrary value it will also
remain stable.
Unfortunately there isn't at this point a completely definable optimum,
it is dependant on your hardware and software configuration and you will
need to test, essentially for, each new norhtbridge, as bus latencies
are the killer here.

Subject: Re: [hlds] windows 2003 memory tweaking
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.

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.
