    Unhappy Virtual Memory

    Its me again.........This time is Virtual Memory correctly allocated???
    I have 2 hard drives connected. 1-Master, 1 Slave (Jumper's correctly installed).
    Both are 80 Gig Western Digital.

    Computer: Gateway, 750MHZ, Intel Pentium 111, 384.oo MB of RAM

    Current Readings:

    Master
    C:\ 8238MB Free
    Minimum: 0
    Maximum: 73774

    Slave
    D:\ 2955MB Free
    Minimum: 0
    Maximum: 68491


    I has been suggested to me that these settings (Windows managed Virtual Mem. Settings) could be incorrect and thet I should specify my own settings. Also that there is a loose formula to follow. ( Min: Should be set at "2" on both Hard Drives and Maximums set at a higher number.
    Also possibly the Min. & Max on both drives be set at the same.
    I may be requireing a lot of Virtual memory as I quickly drain it while in Chat programs, and also do alot of photo copy/manipulations. Constantly freeze up.
    At this time, I am floundering in a sea of lack of knowledge.

    Maybe 2 Hard drives are more than my little antique Gateway can handle?

    In advance, thanks again to ALL for your help. Donation forthcoming.
