[RESOLVED] Conservative Swapfile Usage in WinME??

[High*Ping*Drifter]

There is a very useful tweak for Win98SE where by adding a single line to the 386enh section of your SYSTEM.INI file (ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1), you can force Windoze to use all Physical RAM first before using the much slower swapfile virtual memory. This has greatly enhanced my overall system performance under Win98SE.

A buddy of mine is using WinME, and I'm wondering if anyone has tried this same tweak in WinME??

Much Thanx in Advance...


.H*P*D.

If it's not broken....Fix it!

Yes, that tweak still works in ME, as do most sys.ini tweaks.

Sounds a good tweak. It makes any difference if this line is placed at the begining or the end, or anywhere in the middle?

Just cut and paste:

ConservativeSwapFileUsage=1

It doesn't matter where, as long as it is within the [386enh] section.

This is an effective tweak, i will use almost all my system memory without even accessing the disk.
Downside...disk will go into 'sleep mode' and take forever to spin backup when needed...usualy not until I open a new app.
