Hi,
New here and kinda overwhelmed. I read quite a lot but I am still lost.
I am using P4C800-E Deluxe with bios 1023
Intel Pentium 4 3.0C Northwood 800MHz FSB Socket 478 Processor
Antec Performance II SX1040BII Black 1mm SECC Steel SOHO File Server Computer Case 400W SmartPower ATX12V including Pentium 4 SL400 Power Supply
PROLINK PixelView GeForce FX5600(MVGA-NVG31AL) Geforce FX5600 256MB DDR AGP 4X/8X Video Card
my original matched set ram was 1gig:

i recently bought 2 more gigs matched :
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820221133
so now i have 3 gigs but i have a hunch I am not getting the best performance.
I built this rig for video editing on Vegas 4.0 (using 5.0 now), but I do some gaming. I have 1 OS HD (80g) and 2 160g set to raid striped for video.
2 Questions. Should I set my paging on OS HD or video HD? I had it set to 4096 on the OS HD as the video advice says keep everything off the video HD but after reading http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=395280#395280 performance&Match=Entire Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=1week&Main=538104 I am unsure. Any advice?
Also, I want to make sure my RAM is effective as possible considering how much I have, any suggestions about how to set the bios (about to set it as suggested in the above sticky post, but it seems a bit outdated and I wonder if it still applies, especially considering my physical memory and graphics memory and apperture)?
I don't really need to overclock ATM, and even when gaming my Asusprob rarely registers Ram usage (only during prerendering on video do I see it use memory). I am wondering if I have it set to use the swap too often instead of the physical and if this is the best set up.
Thank you in advance. All my friends think I am some computer genius but I am humbled here for sure. I hope someone knows for sure what my guesswork cant figure out.
