Dirty_P0rnstar Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 My dad found something nice on the internet what should increase your game speed ( Graphics ). (Dutch Version) Om er voor te zorgen dat eerst het interne hardware geheugen wordt gebruikt en dan pas de swapfile doet u het volgende. Start Sysedit en voeg de volgende regel toe aan "system.ini" na het het gedeelte [386enh] Denk aan de hoofdletters!! ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 Save het bestand en herstart de computer. Klaar (Engelse Versie) To make sure you first use your intern hardware memory en then your swapfile memory (pagefile.sys) do this: C:\Windows\System32\Sysedit.exe Start that program and go to the WINDOW called: C:\Windows\System.ini Then type after the line [386enh]: ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 So then it looks like this: [386enh] ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 woafont=app850.FON Save the File and Restart your computer and its back to game time!!!

Dirty_P0rnstar Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 It will tell Windows to use your hardware memory of the motherboard First, when there's no space left in your hardware memory motherboard then Windows will use the Swapfile on your harddisk. Hope u understand it now Windows will react faster with Ram Memory instead of HD Memory, and thats what ur changing with that thingy . Sam.

.TuG.Bulldog Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 ok im going to try it , i do have very expencive ram so it seems a shame not to use it to its full potential. whats the worst that could happen (i have been meaning to format anyway ) althought i have no file called Sysedit.exe, so i just edited the System.ini file directly. restarting now ..... lets see what happens??

Tantalus Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 The lines of text you show above were created many moons ago for the likes of Windows 98 for the VFAT file system, they are no longer employed for the likes of NT,2000 or XP and the NTFS file system due to the different paging function of the operating system. The lines of instruction also tend to be application specific, that is some applications may seem affected and some not. To achieve the same sort of effect in Windows XP you would need to modify the paging executive within the registry, for example: "DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001, which would reduce paging of the kernel to the hard drive and thus employ system memory to greater effect. Microsoft published an article about their pagefile manager and it's function, including the use of the above commands, which can be found here : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q223294 If you wish to try the XP registry edit, open up regedit from the command line and employ the following: System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management] Value Name: DisablePagingExecutive Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) Value Data: (0 = default, 1 = disable system paging) This will directly affect any applications that rely heavily on the pagefile. Remember people, modifying anything in the registry can cause serious problems if not carried out correctly. You should export the registry before you try this tweak, just so you can restore it if it all goes horribly wrong. Observant as always.

Tantalus Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Is it worth doing? That really depends on how much system RAM you have and the application(s) you are using. Rather than blether on about the particulars and functions of the XP pagefile, an article on XP's virtual memory can be found here: http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm I draw your attention to the paragraph entitled "Can the Virtual Memory be turned off on a really large machine?" and the fact that if you take 'memory' from one place it has to be found from another, so if you don't have as much as the system desires then you are likely to face a slowdown or at the very worst a paging fault and no doubt that wonderful blue screen informing you that you have something like a "0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". So back to your original question, "Is it worth it?" ... to which I shall leave the honourable gentleman to complete the following phrase.. "If it aint broke ... " But if you want to 'tie-me-down' for a more specific answer: Generally the more RAM the better and the more you push/tweak your system, the more benefit you'll probably see. The majority of memory-use tweaks have the desired impact only in a number of special cases. For ordinary use, you'll probably be just as well leaving Windows to handle memory managment.

Tantalus Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 ...i have no file called Sysedit.exe Isn't it strange how these things come about - today I was fixing someone's laptop which had a number of .vxd errors in their start-up routine; this was a windows 98 machine of a good many years old and one of my diagnostic routes was to use this command to bring up the system files in order to check them out and remove certain corrupt network entries. 'sysedit' is a command which, when entered into the command line of windows 98, brings up the system files in a number of separate notepad windows; such as autoexec.bat, config.sys, win.ini, and system.ini (remember those?). Ahh, it took me back, I almost started to reminisce about 'MSDOS3.11' (Circa 1983), oh the power of that monochrome text was a sight to behold ... Nothing else - just being a geek thats all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenity Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Rofl, that goes too far back for me. I only know the commands like command.exe and dxdiag . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
