McWolf 0 Posted November 16, 2004 Keep your pagefile as min 1.5 ~max 3x your Memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Tea 0 Posted November 16, 2004 When you run OFP without swapfile, you will get an ctd and an error message saying somthing like "out of virtuel Memory" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shinRaiden 0 Posted November 17, 2004 When I'm hitting OFP system loads that push my 1gb, usually I'm seeing CPU load before I see memory load. A swapfile is bad news for OFP, you can only pray that Windows will have the smarts to move itself onto the swapfile and leave the real memory for OFP.

Well even with just 1024 MEGABYTES (ie 1 GB) of RAM, my swapfile is only 128MB. I have been keeping an eye on the swapfile for various games for awhile, and at the most, only about 18MB (yes 18 Megabytes) of it has been used for random stuff. Most times my 1GB RAM is hardly filled up more than 800MBs of stuff. The utility I used to do this is Cacheman from http://www.outertech.com/. Err I mean to monitor. Cacheman contains loads of handy tweaks too, though I use the monitoring part to keep track of my memory usage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
