Low Virtual Memory on Windows 2000? Hmm. I use to Run Windows 2000 with 64 mg flawless in june 2002. The New SP need more memory?
Several things dictate the usage of virtual memory and how much you have. On your machine you may have never needed more than 64MB, however that seems unlikely. It was quite possibly your HDD space. A lot of people these days install Windows on a partition that is limited in size adn then install everything on a second partition. Be default Windows creates the swap/page file on %systemdrive%. If this partition is small, you will run into Virtual memory problems as you install service packs, patches and other things that take up the remaining space on this drive. Another problem that people run into is that they modify their virtual memory settings and set them at static settings which aren't enough to suit their needs.
