Win2K Paging and Swap files
Are there any secrets to boost the size Win2K lets you set for paging file and swap files. I seem to remember on Win98 you could set your vm as large as you liked.

Should be similar in 2k.
Right click My Computer, select Properties, Advanced, Performance, Settings, Advanced (or somewhere close to that). |

There isn't any secret, just right-click on "My Computer", select "Properties"..."Advanced"..."Performance Options", and you can change the size of the page file.

With that setup, I would start with a 700 MB swap file, min and max sizes the same. That's just a staring point, though. Monitor swap file usage to see how much you need.
