swapfile size? to many options...

[jam57]

Hi, I have a "simple"? question I have 128 megs ram, i do a lot of gaming... unreal ut, quake 3, quakeII etc. should i let windows manage my memory or should i set a permanent swapfile? If so how much min. and max?

using a fixed swap file will reduce fragmentation and windows hassle of "supposly" reducing and increasing the swap file according to apps demands.

As a common rule for a swap file is:

Physical RAM x2.5 or Physical RAM x3

and set the minimal and max the same value so it stays the same size.
