my client uses a p4 2ghz 256/40 gb with one partition. swap is 34 gb. she uses norton system works and adaware free, refuses spybot!
often there is a warning, e.g, when using mailprogram or word: no more ressources or similar.
i was told checking this, concerning start-ups and vcache-maxpagefiles(70 % of ram)
