But 1.5 gig? Abnormal. I have the same system (well almost) but it uses only 500 MB of swap file, even while playing games. Something is wrong...
Perhaps installation of Win XP 64 did it. Never seen this problem before with XP 32 bit.
Arie, XP always recognises the RAM as 3 GB, even if my swap file is 0 or its 4 GB. If it is set to 4 GB, it should show physical RAM as 0. :confused:
Not sure. May be something that you did. I have tried everything I could think of, but still it is stuck at 3 GB. Gave up trying long ago:rolleyes:
Faced the same problem myself. BIOS recognises full 4 GB but WinXP Pro shows only 3 GB. Turned out that PCIx card was using 1GB RAM for itself &...
Check with software - none that I am aware of.
Ran across this article comparing Intel & AMD overclocking http://www.techspot.com/reviews/hardware/pentiumd_vs_athlonx2_overclocking/index.shtml.
Had played around this VCache thing but that was long long ago. You would be better off defragmenting your hard disk the proper way - get a...
Check your SMPS rating too. Try swapping your SMPS with another.
Does cloning support drive differences (switching from PATA to SATA) ?
Frankly don't know. Never had that kind of money to test various configurations :D But now frequency matters less (AMD beats Intel hands down...
A good rule of the thumb is to specify a swapfile = 2 x amount of RAM in the computer. However, I would aim a little higher & make it 3 x amount...
You need to have a DHCP server somewhere in your network so that clients can pick up the info from there. Your router would be acting as a DHCP...
Some motherboards allow you to select the hard disk from which to boot. If your motherboard has this feature, use it. Would make your life much...
Try changing the battery. Some systems would refuse to do anything if the CMOS battery is low or not connected.
Clean the surface on which you are using mouse and/or get a mouse pad.
This connection has been setup manually & you are using the IP settings provided by your ISP. Change it to DHCP.
But keep in mind that overclocking reduces the lifespan of CPU & the system may not be stable. Do it only as a last resort.
Don't think that's possible in Windows without any 3rd party utility. You need to purchase these programs (often called spy software), install...
You can change most of the options in IE in user login only - in fact most of these settings are per user settings ie. each user change these as...
Separate names with a comma.
