memory & pagefile question - follow up

[KRK]

hello

A few days ago I was asking whether or not it was worth adding more Ram to
my pc (I have 2Gb). I was advised to download & run a WinXP Pagefile Usage
Monitor by Bill James. I've done this and it says the following.....

Pagefile Physical Location C:\pagefile.sys
Current pagefile usage 110 Mb
Session Peak usage 110 Mb
Current pagefile size 2345 Mb

Is this good or bad, ?

Does it suggest I need more Ram ?

Thanks again

KK

PS I've run the file a few times and get very similar numbers each time

It's fine.

No. Your page file usage is tiny, and what it's telling you is that
you do *not* need any more RAM. If you got more RAM, you would see no
improvement in performance.
