I have been following this thread and checking properties of my computer and am a bit confused. I have an Intel Celeron CPU 2.40 GHz with 256 MB of RAM. That times 1.5 =384 virtual RAM. I went to look at the place to change the virtual RAM settings and mine says I have a total paging file of 1536 MB. This does not seem to be "in sync" with what you wrote it should be. It seems I may have changed the paging file some time ago on the advise of someone in my greeting card group. My computer is working o.k. although a bit slow to load up internet addresses. Any comments or advise on this?
