Finally - swapfile size etc: I've read so many opinions on this online
today
my head is spinning. My PC RAM is now max'ed out at 1Gb, so the smart
money
seems to reckon that 1.5Gb is about optimum size? And there seem to be
equal opinions on whether the min and max swapfile size should be set as
the
same, to prevent fragmentation, or not?

Ignore all that. Just tick the box 'System managed size' to let Windows
manage it for you. It's quite competent.


Its not that clever actually. Messages about shortage of virtual memory
are quite common and are normally cured by removing that tick and setting
the virtual memory size to at least 50% above actual memory size.
