I am sure there was a long thread on this subject a few weeks ago. I have searched but cannot find it.

The speicfic ones I'm after are. Registry change to force w2k to use all physical ram before going to the swap file.

MaxConnectionsPerServer to make IE use more than a couple of sockets at a time. Whats the tweak and should it be used. Saw on another forum that it can cause problems to use it. Also what sort of level should I set it to. I use a 2Mb link.

Thanks for any help.

By default, Win2K uses physical RAM before going to the swap file. This problem only affects Win9x, and is fixed with the ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 setting in System.ini.

You can get the MaxConnections registry entries here.
