Hi,
I just did a clean install of WinXP after a fatal Win98 crash, and I have the following problem:
Even with several services disabled and nothing running in the background, I get frequent disk access and jerkiness in Jedi Knight 2. I've checked the Windows task manager, and my page file grows to 402 MB (!!*) during gameplay. Cacheman is installed, the disk is defragmented, and no program loads automatically. I have also deleted all spyware except for those required for Kazaa. No virus, either.
My hardware: P4 1.7 Ghz at 1963 Mhz, Abit TH7-II, 256 MB RDRAM running at 460 Mhz, 30 GB 7200 rpm HDD.
So is it possible that WinXP needs more than 256 MB to run (some) games smoothly? THanks.
