After rebooting the max increased by the size of the min
swap file increase, which doesn't surprise me.
However, NT is claiming, as I read it, that it can
effectively produce a virtual address space of
swap file plus physical memory minus (in my case)
about 10 megs, and it can do that with 23 megs of
disk cache and (at the moment) 2 megs of nonpaged
kernel space.
Despite the fact that I don't believe NT can do it <g>, it
looks like you and Sean were right and I was completely
wrong about the way the max virtual memory is computed.
BTW, before the first reboot, I
had about 18 megs of nonpaged kernel space, meaning
at that time NT's claim of delivering 185mb of virtual
memory with 128mb of swap space and 64mb real memory
leaves the kernel sucking 7 megs of virtual unpaged air if
all that claimable virtual memory gets allocated
(196-185-18= -7), not to mention disk cache, not to
mention SOME overhead, which seems to be about 10mb. A VERY
impressive paging algorithm, to say the least. I wonder
if I could get NT to manage my stocks ... Uh, no,
come to think of it, I already have a financial manager
that can't add <ggg>. |
