Hi,

I am using 0 pagefile size , i.e. 0 virtual memory.

And i am seeing in taskManager a lot of page fault, is this because I have
no virtual memory file ??

Is this "page faults " a problem ?

Cheers

Cato,

as far as I know: page faults are no 'faults' as we would think. When system
writes memory to pagefile and needs it again, loads pages back from disk to
memory, a page fault is done.
I think XPe isn't completely beware that it doesn't have pagefile and shows
page faults to taskmgr.

As I said: 'as far as I know', so better double check my idea (although we
are using no pagefile as well, I haven't completely understood how that
works:).

Mathias.
