This works for XP and 2000--
User-mode and kernel-mode drivers and kernel-mode system code is usually written to be either pageable or non-pageable. In cases where drivers or system code is pageable, you can use the following registry entry to keep this pageable code in RAM, but this is only advisable on systems with extremely large amounts of RAM. (I recommend 256 or more)
If your system has enough physical memory performance will increase if the operating system does not page it self to disk. The best way to make sure is to load all of your applications and use the task manager(press Control-Alt-Delete) and click the performance tab. Your physical RAM should be greater then the Peak Commit Charge by at least 64MB.
To manually edit the registry. Modify HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management and set the following value DisablePagingExecutive=1.
1=enable---Disables swap file and uses ram only
0=disable---Enables swap file
If you decide to do this, I recommend getting a memory optimizer and run it in the background.(This will kept the memory from from being tied with old data)
The one I like is FreeRam XP Pro 1.11, here is the download link:
