I just did a huge system tweak.
went into mscfg and shut stuff off, corrected my registry,dowloaded new drivers for everything imaginable and tweaked my virtual memory and swap file.

My question is , how much ram can I allocate to the swap file?? I know it is supposed to be 2.5 x the system ram, but how much is too much?? I have 680 megs of ram buss ram , but useing that formula I will end up with 1500 megs in the swap file!! Thats sounds like WAY too much to me. If it makes a difrence I have a 40 gig HD. Can anybody help?
