One more thing I should make clear... BK hardly ever use a page swap file larger than about 32k... remember, we are talking about well over 10 years ago when the game engine was designed. Computers at the time might have a total of 1gb of RAM, most were less than a half gig. Hard drives were perhaps between 10gb and 30gb.
XP 32 bit only can use about 4gb of RAM but we are seeing HDD of 1tb, that is 1000 times larger than 1gb...
Think billion versus trillion.
Today's Win7 systems can use up to 8gb of RAM and if you have dual or quad core... much more...
Putting it into perspective... how many 32K blocks are in 1gb?

new
about 2 weeks ago, i made more copies of my BH-RT installation and i went to replace the copies which i had of BK with these of BHRT to run mods, as suggested.
they are 2 weeks i've this configuration on my pc :
BK_MB
BH-RT_MK
BH-RT_MKIF
BH-RT_MKIFunofficial
BH-RT_F40
BH-RT_HRA
BH-RT_ <---where i try different mini mods or other
i must add, when i finished to replace the BK copies with BHRT copies i did a defrag of my pc just formatted this summer.
i heve no problem of any sort. i can change in the same windows session several mods, several savegame, several missions, ... never been so stable.
because practice talk more than much words.

I think he means 'Actions Speak Volumes'; 'words are just... words'...
as well as... 'Practice makes perfect'...

Major Pain did sayeth this:...then longfellow responded with this:31,250... lol
1 Gigabyte = 1,000,000,000 bytes or (1 billion bytes)
1,000,000,000 / 32,000 = 31,250
and just for chuckles... 1 Terabyte = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes or (1 trillion bytes) or (1000 gigabytes)
Are you ready to tackle the petabyte?
Maybe this will help put into a better perspective:
The Internet Archive surpassed 15 petabytes as of May 2014
It is estimated that the human brain's ability to store memories is equivalent to about 2.5 petabytes of binary data.
So now you know...
