Stinger 0 Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 In WinXP after you right click properties on My Computer then you go to advanced and then click on the Setup and Recovery box it will pop up a window. Then at the bottom of that pop up window there is a Blue topic called Write debugging Information. It gives me the choices of: Small memory dump (64kb) Kernel memory dump Complete memory dump What are these and what is the best setting? Does it really matter? OOh I got another Q also, how can I make WinXP use more RAM? I have never used it all. I always have over 150MB left and I think that could go to better use. I have Ram Idle Pro and have told it to make Windows use all ram or whatever its choice was called but it obviously isn't. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RooK 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Windows will use ram as it pleases. If you're in the middle of playing a game, and you exit it and pop open task manager, you'll probably notice a large memory increase. Memory managers can also be more hassle than help. They take processes to constantly monitor the ram as well as occupying ram themselves. Although they clear memory, they don't clear certain parts of the system that are allocated to it and built up over time. Just ditch it and lets windows do it itself.
