    Page File

    you'll want to set up a static pagefile (prevents file fragmentation) by setting both the initial size and the maximum size to the same value. for starters set it at 1.5 x ram, in your case 768 mb. you only need one pagefile. i'll post more info if you need it.

    I don't like XP. Is it just me?

    start rant- you know, polling threads like this one really don't serve any constructive purpose. i see them on forums all over the net. they invariably degenerate into pity parties and/or pissing matches between users who like win xp and win 9x or linux users who tell them they don't. polls...

    How is Windows XP?

    at first i was skeptical because of the reputation that preceded win xp and micro$oft in general, but . . . i've been running xp home oem on my new custom built machine for 8 months now, not a single bsod. a couple of boo-boos on my part caused me to have to use the system restore function...

    Need info about route.exe

    does anyone know anything about route.exe? all i can find out about it is that it's a system 32 application that runs from a prefetch routine. if i don't get on the internet immediately after power-up or restart this rascal will run for about 10 seconds (using 100% cpu) about every minute...

    video card with tv out

    i'm not familiar with your card but i'm using ati all-in-wonder radeon. i can give you a general idea. tv in is used for recording to your hard drive from an external source like from a vcr or camcorder. then you can use an editing utility to make your own movies and output it back to tape, if...

    Unidentified applications in System Configuration Utility Startup tab

    although RegCleaner is available seperately, the author has now bundled it with some other handy utilities in jv16 Power Tools. excellent freeware indeed.

    XP and temp internet files
