OK. Another tip for those of you on windows XP looking for a little bit more performance.
warning in order to use this tweak, you MUST have a high capacity hard drive and no worries of space consumption.
First you need to get to the system panel; you can do this by right clicking on the my computer link and selecting properties, or click on teh control panel and select "system". Once you're on this menu, you should see the entire system properties; select the advanced tab, and then performance. So to reiterate:
control panel>system>advanced>performance
or
my computer (right click)>properties>advanced>performance
once clicking on the settings button, you should see an option under the advanced tab for virtual memory; click on the option to change, you can set the virtual memory size to a larger amount. This provides a larger buffer to process data, which should make your workflow improve.
