Ausatco,
I know we are on a slight tangent here, but I would like to make a couple of suggestions on the Pagefile.
If putting in a larger Pagefile gives you a boost in performance, then it is time to add RAM to your system.
As long as you have at least 512Mb of RAM in your system, use Regedit:
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Session Manager\ Memory Management]
Value Name: DisablePagingExecutive
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = default, 1 = disable system paging)
Select the DisablePagingExecutive value to '1'.
Take Care,
Richard
