Clarification
Swapfile (win98 lingo) = virtual memory (winXP lingo)

Virtual memory should be minimum 1.5 times the size of your system ram memory.

Caution: it is reccomended to let Windows handle virtual memory, especially for beginners.

Virtual memory occupies a part of your drive not being used by other programs (i.e. Free Space) In spicks case it is 73% of a 80Gb drive which is heaps.

So Spick old Buddy take a little advise from this ols person and leave Virtual memory to windows, sooner or later you will be grateful for this advise.

to change your virtual memory "can" sometimes be beneficial, but for everyday use dunna worry.
So if you have anymore probs let us know and we'll help if neccesary, but plz be careful with Operating systems and the way they work, they are designed to run with as little interferance as possible, so if it aint broke dont fix it.
