I'm dreading having to do a Gentoo install, so right now I'm using Windows XP.

Fully updated, it keeps giving me a low virtual memory warning. Now, the strange thing is that I've got a 1.5 gb of page file, and 512mb of ram, and my pagefile usage never jumps above 350mb.

Has anyone else been having this problem?

I am, I'm exactly the same. I increased my page file size, and iddn't have the problem for a long time. But now that I upgraded my vid card, it occasionally gives me that problem Confused
