    System Info for Windows
    http://majorgeeks.com/SIW_System_Info_d4387.html

    not only blows the myth of 1.5 x RAM as per other posts, but shows that the Registry on my PC only takes up 3mb (current) with a 54mb RAM (maximum).
    Is there a way to decrease the allocated size to the Registry?

    I can hear the screams already.:D

    Not a bad app Bazza with plenty of system info, but sadly I dunno why i could find the location you have posted in the pic for VM???


    while the regisrty lists a max size of 54mb, and only using 3mb... I would be very very loathe to adjust that setting, 51mb is not alot these days to save in space.

    Halo, I realise that 54mb is miniscule these days. I have never read anything on the size allocated to the Registry and how much is actually used until I ran SIW.
    I was hoping someone might quote a FAQ answer, or similar, to expand my knowledge.

    With regard to comment on VM, I am not sure what you mean.
    The graphic was cut from Hardware tab-->System info. Hope that is what you are getting at. Bazza

    yes Bazza that was what I was after, sadly that app is not fully Vista compatible it seems so i would have to use it on my XP PC.... as the VM figures on Vista are

    if your interested in what I see.


    as to registry size/setting

    My PC is used in a home environment.
    Live dangerously :D and try SIW(System Info) . You can't do any harm.

    http://majorgeeks.com/SIW_System_Info_d4387.html

    Go to Hardware-->System Info and read your SwapFile size when compared to your Max used, and you may rethink all the advice you have ever read, including Microsoft. I know I have.

    Report back, and tell me how much installed RAM on your PC, please.
