Hey -lovin the latest . ver
I will be venturing into boot.ini and adding the /3GB switch in my version of Windows XP Professional.
My question is that when I ran this by my IT guru old friend at work, he said to kill off my windows swap file.
I have 3 gig of memory and had set the file size to the largest size some time ago in an attempt to provide terragen more room, memory, more resources - whatever, more horsepower if you will!
What should be the proper swap file with 3Gigs of sys mem on a WinXP-pro system be set to?
and- Is my guy right? KIll off the swap file and use just system memory for renders?
Or should I put it back to the default as in windows manages the swap file dynamically?
Anyone have any views? My system is: Dell 8300, XP PRO SP3, Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.4GHz (sorry no dual quad yet!)
