If as a windows xp user you have large amount of main memory (>2 gb (>1gb works but may cause low memory errors) ) i.e RAM(Random Access Memory) then you can make your xp run faster by simply disabling paging file system or swap space.

What's The Reason ?

Disabling paging file increases performance because paging file/swap space is a area reserved on your hardisk for swapping program modules in/out and as it's a well known fact that hard disk speed is much lower as compared to the ram, It leads to slower read/write operation and slows your windows xp operation.

How to do that ?

Just follow these steps:

1) Right click My Computer icon and then choose properties.

2) Once the properties window appears choose advanced tab and then Settings button under performance.

3) Once in performance window choose advanced tab from it and then choose change button under the virtual memory section

4) This loads the virtual memory settings window and then choose "no paging file" option from it then click on set and after that press ok 3 times and reboot. After the next reboot the paging file will be disabled hence your pc will run faster and completely on RAM.
