Hi Richard,
First let me ask you why would you want to change your swap file setting?
But if you do intend to do it then the swap file should be 2.5 times the
amount of Ram you have. So that would make it 320mb, and you would put this
value in both minimum and maximum. If you have a second hard drive then you
could designate that drive as the drive where the swap file will be. It
doesn't really matter because with 128mb Ram your swap file will seldomly be
accessed, unless you are running a ton of programs. I also have 128mb Ram
and I just let Windows handle my swap file. As for it telling you to enter
it in kilobytes, I've never seen that happen. Maybe it's because you are
only setting the minimum amount.
