   Ben,   
      
   In the book the writer mentions the MS paging file defaults to 1.5 times   
   RAM IIRC and he was saying to use 3 times RAM, that's why I set it that   
   way. I have 3GB RAM so I used the Constant settings and set both entries   
   to 9165.   
      
   BR>p.s. this is ANTI_VIRUS so throw in a word about that to stay on topic ;-)   
      
   AT&T is my DSL provider and offers a free anti-virus Suite download to   
   their subscribers to use.   
      
   In the past it has been CA, Norton and now it's McAfee.   
      
   I have read comments on FIDO about McAfee's product not being as highly   
   rated as some other anti-virus products so I've thought about using   
   either Avast Free or AVG Free instead of the McAfee suite.   
      
   I am not sure if Avast Free or AVG Free includes a firewall so I either   
   want to go back to Zonealarm or try the Comodo firewall.   
      
   Your reply to me about what I wrote wasn't on topic reminded me of when   
   I received a letter from the Federal Communications Commission called an   
   "Advisory Notice" that their monitoring stations heard my signal on a   
   frequency I wasn't allowed to be on.   
      
   I had just built a Heathkit transmitter and didn't know it was   
   transmitting on a frequency multiplied by 2 times what I thought it was   
   set on.   
      
   I had been wondering why no one had been answering my calls on Ham Radio   
   but the FCC sending a letter to me made me know I had to get the   
   transmitter I built sent in for repairs.   
      
   I'll try to do better "Mr. Moderator".    ;-)   
   Thanks.
