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.
