I even took time to register on this forum - I had to reply in this thread. Its so wrong. It's always funny for me to see how loads philosophers take tweaks, analyse them with their philosophical methods, find a problem, then proove this problem and finally - shout out loud that a tweak is a fake. Without giving it a good try. In fact, I have a completely different view on IoPageLockLimit. After using and trying many others also, I can even say that its probably the best Windows XP tweak out there. If you think Im overconfident, then think twice, because im not only confident, but betting my hand on this tweak. I used it on various PC's for last 4 years. Starting with a PII 350 / 512 RAM, thru PIII 1000 with 384, then Athlon 3200+ with 1GB, Athlon 2000+ and 512, and a couple others. It always works. It makes an instant feeling that system is managing the memory in better way. Applications load faster, HDD browsing is quicker and RAM is never getting stuck, always perfectly unloaded when applications are stopped. Without any doubts, I can say that this tweak made that PII 350 able to be a workstation. Slow, but it was really fine for basic work. I recommend this tweak to every XP user on any machine, but make sure to pick the right value for it. I dont recommend using the values from applications like TuneXP or whatever. They are too high and will make your system work even worse. Good value in this tweak is the key to its own value...
