I recently upgraded an AlphaServer 2100 running NT 3.51 server sp5 from 128MB to 512MB. I'm wondering if there is any needs to do something (runs a program ?, change something in the registry ?) so that it knows that it can use more memory for the cache ? (or is this all automatic). I'm asking this because it does not seem to use more than 100MB in its cache. Michel.

|     Nope. Just shutdown, install the memory and boot NT.

| 5887.2 | Virtual Memory in Control Panel | KANATA::TOMKINS | Mon Apr 07 1997 09:32 | 12 | |
|     If you have been to the System Control Panel previously and had set a
    specific Page File size, then you should be back there and make
    adjustments. in fact, I believe that one must do this anyhow, but on
    this point I am not sure, just speculating.
    
    I typically set Page File size to be the same Intial Size and
    Maximum Size on a freshly formatted disk. This gives me a
    non-fragmented Page File that neither shrinks nor grows, thus avoiding
    fragmentation of this very vital file in the operation of Virtual
    Memory.
