I have only 512MB and only run spyware at random in conjunction with Microsoft
Defender when I choose to do so under reasonable doubt if I susspect that
system performance is
slow. I set my pagefile to 1024MB which only takes just %1 of my 200MB
Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus PATA HD. I susspect it would take 1GB or more to run
counter-Counterspy
since these spyware programs are all but nothing more than just big resource
hogs which can give
any system a servere case of constipation.
Why does spyware have to use such huge and inefficient system resources when
all they need to
run in is 640KB of real memory to run in? They're not huge database apps like
SQL Server or Oracle
so go figure.

If you read her post you'd see she's already got 1.5g with 2g max. If
it were me I'd make the initial & max the same size to help prevent
pagefile fragmentation & if nothing else it gives Windows one less
thing to manage & that's always a good thing. I have 2g of ram & my
pagefile is also set at 2g min/max & I have no problems but I'm not
running counterspy. I wonder how much ram it would take to run
counter-counterspy. ;-) FWIW I only run spyware intermittently & not
let it scan continuously which is probably the real difference.
