memory & pagefile question - follow up

hello

A few days ago I was asking whether or not it was worth adding more Ram to
my pc (I have 2Gb). I was advised to download & run a WinXP Pagefile Usage
Monitor by Bill James. I've done this and it says the following.....

Pagefile Physical Location C:\pagefile.sys
Current pagefile usage 110 Mb
Session Peak usage 110 Mb
Current pagefile size 2345 Mb

Is this good or bad, ?

Does it suggest I need more Ram ?

Thanks again

KK

PS I've run the file a few times and get very similar numbers each time

No You have heaps of memory

It's fine.

No. Your page file usage is tiny, and what it's telling you is that
you do *not* need any more RAM. If you got more RAM, you would see no
improvement in performance.
