I agree with that. I have 384mb RAM on my development machine (more than most
people have of ram+swap combined) and NT -still- whines and bitches if it
doesn't get a swap file. It wants swap and will use it regardless of physical
memory, like it or not. I think if I put 2 gigabytes in the box, it'd -still-
swap to disk. It's just the way the OS (both Windows and NT) is designed.
