my processor is a PIII 450 overclocked to 540( not the problem I've already
declocked it and the same thing happens ), I have 256 megs of SDRAM@100mhz,
I have two ATA-66 drives one at 18 gigs and another at 27.3 gigs, and a
diamond viper v770.
It is really wierd... I boot up and look at the system resource manager(I
forget the name) and I can see my RAM usage go up by about 6 to 12 megs a
second until it is all used up. It doesn't use any of the swap file either.
I don't understand.
Thanks,
Charles Ulwelling

What is your processor speed, and how fast is
your harddrive, like is it an older ide or newer udma33,
or scsi?
