Well I think it would be better to let windoze manage this by itself (one of the few things that it seems to be doing reasonably ;) ..unless you have any reasons for it not to do so. If you want a answer for the above question it would depend upon the windoze version you are running (win2k requires more memory than win 9x for a given memory size) and how much RAM you have installed on your computer. For example if you have 64 MB RAM with win9x installed I think you would be fairly safe with a 100M swapfile... Kalum Hi, I'm a signature virus. plz set me as your signature and help me spread :)
