Hello,

Just noticed that in the windows task manager my page file usage is running
just under a gig. No idea why, RAM usage is also high & so is the Virtual
memory. Is this normal? Haven't noticed a drop in system performance. I have
no idea of what's going on. Any ideas welcome. I'm baffled.

Many thanks,

ISX

Yes - XP will try to find *some* use for all of RAM at all times, even
if just to cache every file so far accessed. Read up at

Hello,

Thanks for the responses. Just bugged me a bit. It's never run this high
before. I guess I'll just leave it.

Thanks,

ISX
