Damn...can't spell today...what's the flag to stop win98se from using your swap file until your main RAM is full.

In [386Enh] in System.ini you have to add a line..

like ConservativeSwapFile=1 or ConserveSwapFileUse=1 or something like that....I just can't remember the exact name of the flag...I tried to search for it...but nothing returned any results...

I just upped to 384MB of RAM...so I figure Windows won't be needed to much swap...even with it's horrid memory manager (I wish my manager at work was as sloppy as Windows' memmanager...it would make slacking off a lot easier )

It is:
ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1
