I have noticed that windowsXP does not change the amount of virtual memory,
when set to manual. I have a 40GB HDD and wish to use more than 382MB of
Page file. I JUST rebooted after manually setting to 2.5GB and my pagefile
is...382MB!!!When i set it to system managed I can get UP TO and INCLUDING
489MB!!! which is GB away from where I wish to be... any help greatly
appreciated, as I wish to game on my system, but I keep getting out of memory
errors that force my games to close!!! and Im outta Free Tech answers, so Im
screwed.
