I've recently upgraded my RAM from 1GB to 2GB. Originally my Dell Dimension 2400 came from factory with only 128MB. Can you believe it? Now I'm told I need to increase my PAGE FILE SIZE to help take advantage of the increased RAM. I need the most speed from my RAM upgrade, thanks for your answers.

right click on my computer
click properties
click on advanced at the top
under "performance" click settings
then click advanced at the top there
at the bottom it will say "virtual memory" click change and set increase the size.
This is for XP, not 100% how to get there in vista

I don't know who told you to Increase your Page file size, cause a Page File is Extra Instructions placed on your HardDrive that pretends to be RAM for the sake of easing systems with lower Available RAM. I would Recommend Leaving Windows to Adjust your Page file as it sees fit.
hope this helps.
