There are servel paths to manage memory. Most of these paths are not
published due to the prue fact the MS does not want to end up supporting a
bunce of wet needles that are tring to over perform there OS so there
solitare runs better. Please keep in mind that any thing you read from
Microsoft is designed to lower impact on support, so they will never suggest
you mess with a setting that is potential to cause the avagrage consumer to
crash there system, espacialy when that can cause a problem loging in,
forcing you into safe mode to correct the problem. And as we all know it's
no fun talking Granma throught process of F8 on startup.

Subject: Re: [hlds] windows 2003 memory tweaking
I think perhaps a refresher is warranted here, since you're forgetting
one basic fact, which is even mentioned in the article listed.
"Virtual Memory is always in use, even when the memory required by all
running processes does not exceed the amount of RAM installed on the
system."
You should always have a pagefile, and it should be larger than your
installed RAM, even if you have tons of RAM and your memory usage
never nears your RAM limit. The people that wrote the memory manager
in the OS are telling you this, and you're thinking they don't know
what they're talking about? Besides, with HD space being well under
$1/GB there's no legitimate reason to complain about the "wasted" HD
space for a pagefile. Just set the minimum size
