    Get some of your hot friends that are girls and have a car wash infront of a gas station. Good way to get money and see girls in bathing suits wet. ;D

    messing with page file helps alittle, but not a huge amount... it essentially dillutes your system ram with harddrive making certain files load a bit slower per se, but helping you avoid a lack of ram issue later on.

    on auto, it tends to use the pagefile more eavily with less ram and less heavily with more, it's nto quite as intelligent as if you had done it yourself but it is typically fine.

    the best way to use it is to set it to a seperate harddrive and not your main HDD as that harddrive is nto being fully utilized and will leave the highest potential towards the pagefile.

    agree with geting mroe ram though, 256 megs on windows XP is stupid, windows by itself uses more than that. Right now with only firefox open and a few background services, I'm using about 600 megs worth, albiet I'm sure a small amount of this is due to memory leaks as I had a few games open earlier
