i have 128RDRAM and im running windows xp pro. Yes i know i need to buy more
RAM. but for now what should the setting be? i currently choose "system
manage Size". is that correct? is there any other "Tweaks" i could do for now
until i buy my RAM?

Thx

Typically, the lesser the RAM, the larger the page file should be in ratio
with the RAM. Since you have around 128MB of RAM, having a page file between
192 and 384MB is ideal. You may want to set them as the minimum and maximum
limit for the page file on your machine. Also, since your specs have 40G hdd,
I would suggest creating a separate drive (say around 500MB) just for holding
the page file, so that it is least fragmented, resulting in lesser seek time
and higher performance...
