virtual memory

[Guest]

I have 4 gb of ram im my desktop computer and depends on how i configure my
apiture size for my agp in the bios i got 3.7gb it shows up as but anyway my
question is usually you set 1.5 for min and 3 for max what should i set it
to? but isnt that max windows will allow 4gb if you use the /3gb switch?

Virtual memory setting refers to the paging file. The /3gb switch
doesn't apply, and the "missing memory" between 3.x and the 4 GB is due
to PCI addressing. the 1.5 you refer to is actually 1.5 times the amount
of memory the pagefile size defaults to. Is your computer exhibiting any
memory related issues? NO? I would suggest leaving the system to manage
it.

No. In fact Memory allocation was to be left alone starting with Windows 3.11
