OSNN have posted a guide about Virtual Memory, very informative!
First off, let us get a couple of things out of the way:
Windows XP is a Virtual Memory Operating system There is nothing you can do to prevent virtual memory There is nothing you can do to prevent paging in the NT kernel No matter your configuration, with any given amount of ram, you can not reduce the amount of paging by adjusting any user interface in these virtual memory operating systems... you can redirect operating system paging, and you can circumvent virtual memory strategy, but you cannot reduce the amount of paging in the NT family of kernel.
