bah thats nothing the other day my page file size reached a peak of more than 2 gb... just before crashing (it ran out of hdd space or something as i still havnt got a replacement of my second hdd after its death ...) and i was just moving a ramp... i reopened it after and it was ok again, but... (page file refers to all the memory XP is using, ram and reserved HDD space used as ram....)
