User-mode and kernel-mode
drivers and kernel-mode system code are
usually written to be either pageable or
non-pageable. In cases where drivers or
system code is pageable, you can use the
following registry entry to keep this pageable
code in RAM, but this is only advisable
on systems with extremely large amounts
of RAM.
If your system has enough physical memory,
performance will increase if the operating
system does not page itself to disk. The
best way to make sure is to load all of
your applications and use the task manager
(press Control-Alt-Delete) and click the
performance tab. Your physical RAM should
be greater than the Peak Commit Charge by
at least 16MB.
To enable this feature, manually edit the
following registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory Management and set the following
value: DisablePagingExecutive=1
