swap file in use when there is available memory

[eliander]

According to system monitor, my swap file gets a minimal use even when "unused physical memory" is available
has anyone seen anything like that before?
i run a celeron 400 and i have a 128mb pc133 and a 32 mb pc 100 chip on abit motherboard..
Please, help!

BurnItDown, are you referring to the "ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1" that you put in the system.ini file?

That will force Windows to only use the swap file after you system memory has run out (or at least thats the idea).

You also need to make sure Windows is managing your swap file for best results.

Oh, nearly forget, the command has to go under the [386Enh] section of the system.ini.
