Memory tweak question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Does anybody have any info about these tweaks? I have only found
positive info on the web about this. But i'm looking for any negative
aspects to implementing these.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory
Management]
"DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001
"LargeSystemCache"=dword:00000001

To explain what David posted, ask yourself one question.

Do want the OS to run the OS or your applications?

Thanks. That one little sentence really sums it up for me (Do want the
OS to run the OS or your applications?). But Davids post is the techno
jargon I need to throw at somebody to get them off my back about this
"tweak". In this environment with some many applications (500 diff apps
for less then 1500 users) I think I have my answer.

Thanks again,
-Steve

Also Microsoft recommends a page file on two drives if you have 2 I did this
and saw a great performance boost.
