I copied the following info from a Hitman fansite, does it work and if so, how much space should I set?. 1gb is mentioned, but I need to type the values in numerals if I set my own virtual memory.
"Windows sets itself up to handle virtual memory itself. What this leads to is an expanding and contracting swap file, which gets fragmented (because your hard drive is fragmented), and seriously slows things down.
To set your virtual memory, right Click "My Computer," select the "Performance" tab, and select "Virtual Memory." Stop windows from handling virtual memory. Choose your fastest hard drive, and then set the amount of virtual memory you want. However, here's the trick: set the maximum and the minimum to the same amount. This creates a permament swap file, of a set size, on your fastest hard drive. Once permanent, Windows won't touch it again, so if you managed to get it in a non-fragmented section of hard drive space, you'll have sped things up to no end"
My pc spec, P111, 500ghz, 256mb sdram, 5.40gb free h/d.
Thanks, Tomijon.
