Default Increase Preformance! Disable virtual mem

Do this ONLY if you have 512M of ram or over.

I disabled it, everything loads faster. Not reccomended if you do mpeg editing, high res graphics, unelss you have like 1-2 gigs of ram. I'm doing this with win98. Works in 2k I believe

I'm staying away from XP. I hear stories about built in anti-piracy stopping people from playing certain movies and stuff
