Hello,

Can anyone help me by answering the following question and then explaining
how it's done...

I have 1.5G of RAM in my computer and I would like to be able to allocate a
portion to a specific process - printing. Can this be done? Ideally, I'd
like to allocate one third (512MB) of my RAM to printing so my computer can
handel large printing jobs (sometimes printing to two printers at a time)
and than use the remaining 1G of RAM function properly on all other tasks
(email, excel, phtotshop, etc.) while the print jobs are spooling and
printing, etc...

Thanks to all in advance!

You should see about a print server. Perhaps there are
printer server programs that you can run on your computer,
but a stand-alone print server is what you need.

Not sure about ram,but you can move the spool-file in xp an
relocate printing to another hd if one exist,chk out search at microsof
.com,type:314105 The other types of settings for that would be in syste
properties,advanced.You can adjust how xp allocates performance.Also,your
processor will dictate the majority of any of these settings,this is where intel
hyperthreading becomes usefull,doing multiple tasks at the same time.
