just my .02

The page file is slower than memory. It doesn't neccessarily get used first. It does start at the minimum size you specify, but its not actually in use. Window VM management is kind of odd. I can't say I agree with the way they handle it, but its probably the best way for the purpose. I wish I could get some pics up of the process.

I can easily bog down a 1 GB machine, but not a PC.....an AIX box with 1 GB often isn't enough for me.....it's fine for a primary workstation, but I can't run much as far as simulations go with only 1 GB.

Did you match the memory? Some motherboards are picky about matching the timings & latency. What version of Windows are you running? Windows XP/2k are pretty good with memory.
