btw system specs

amd64 3200+ 2.1
radeon x800 pro 256 @ 540 core / 520 mem
1.5 gigs corsairs xms 2x2x2x5 400mhz
10k raptor 40 gig
7200 WD 180 gig
audigy2ZS

also.. i have my pagefile set to 2304 and thats located on my WD i heard its better to put the pagefile on another drive other than the boot drive. is this a good practice? and is it the optimal amount of pagefile size? thanks guys

With 1.5GB of RAM the pagefile won't be used too much typically, at least not while gaming. So while that is a good idea in theory you shouldn't really benefit from moving the pagefile to another drive. Likewise you shouldn't need to have a very big pagefile either, but there's no harm in letting it occupy a good amount of space if you can spare it. I've set it to 1GB with 1.5GB of RAM to avoid having WinXP nag about that it thinks the pagefile should be bigger, wich it did when I had it at half a gig.

I don't know about that game in perticular though. If I remember correctly it's fairly new so maybe the best source of information would be a EQ2 specific fan-forum, for the best shot at finding information about fresh issues.
