The only thing that will run faster are things in that memory.. and I hope you are running with more than 1 gig of RAM, otherwise you will be killing your system.

yes, that looks like overkill
Just keep an eye on your free\unused memory
with system monitor.
It's best to stay away from having the swap file in use.
Not to say don't use it.
Because somethings can use a bunch of memory
but most things don't just try and keep it in the blackTheGorx

On the contrary....let Windows manage your Virtual Memory especially with Win Me because you have no more Real Dos Mode Drivers....and if you must set it at something...well much higher...but in this case Windows does know what it is doing!!

If(and only if) you have more than 128 MB ram installed you can speed your system up by hardly ever using the swap file.
edit system.ini, under [386enh] add the following:
[386Enh]ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1
the swap file then behaves like it did in win95, and forces the system to use ram before virual memory.
Remember that you do this at your own risk, but it really does work..Dave

Here's a good page to look at:

I've managed my swap for the past few months and haven't had any probs.

Setting your min. and max to the same value will free up resources by not having to manage the vitual memeory and it will allow windows to tend to other services. The general rule is 11-14 megs above what your system RAM actually is. I've set mine much higher without and negative repercussions. I do think you are going too high. If you have less than 256 MB of RAM try that number first and experiment from there. Also, try to put it on a drive that will not be active. Ex. if your OS is on drive C: put it on an drive d: or e: etc. (assuming neither drives are your CDROM).
Good luck!
