Here are a few memory performance tweaks:
These Settings will fine tune your systems memory management - at least 256MB of ram recommended:
Go to start\run\regedit - and then to the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
1. DisablePagingExecutive
- double click it and in the decimal put a 1
- this allows XP to keep data in memory now instead of paging sections of ram to harddrive yields faster performance.
2. LargeSystemCache
- double click it and change the decimal to 1
- this allows XP Kernel to Run in memory improves system performance alot
3. create a new dword and name it IOPageLockLimit
- double click it and set the value in hex - 4000 if you have 128MB of ram or set it to 10000 if you have 256MB or set it to 40000 if you have more than 512MB of ram
- this tweak will speed up your diskcache
For Users with 256 MB RAM or more this tweak will boost their Windows- and Game-Performance.
What it does: It tells Windows not to use any Swap File until there is really no more free RAM left.
Open the System Configuration Utility by typing msconfig.exe in the RUN command. There in your System.ini you have to add "ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1" under the 386enh section.
Restart your Windows and enjoy better Game performance
ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1
