Registry

[Guest]

I have registry tweak that I have been afraid to run and would like your
input. It loads the windows kernel into RAM to utilize the faster FIFO
architecture, avoiding the hard drive's seek time. It sounds good when you
examine it logically, but it has potential for disaster. It came from a good
source.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\DisablePagingExecutive {Set value
to 1}

With 1gig of RAM and 256mg on AGP I don't think I need the paging file(?).
Would there be sufficient benifit to warrant the change?

Thank you for your time and attention.

Best to leave it be. Doubtful you'll ever notice any perceptible change +/-.
Paging is an integral part of XP - it needs & wants Pagefile space. I have 2
Gigabytes of Physical RAM and still have on average 52 Megabytes sitting
in my Pagefile (All-the-Time).

Thank you for your answer. I think I will leave it alone, I had read some
articles that said WinXP need the paging files; that is why I ask.

Thank you for your time and attention.
