The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How can I reduce page faults?

Asked by Tomg in Windows 98 Operating System

Tags: reduce, page, faults, swap

I'm running Win98 on an AMD K6/300 with 128 megs of RAM on a M-Tech R540 mainboard (TX chipset) and an IBM Deskstar 14 gig UDMA hard drive. I routinely run between 4 and 6 applications on the system at the same time. After the system is on for 3-4 days, the system slows down enough to lose a race to an old an 80286! I researched this problem and found out I am getting between 50 and 100 page faults (using System Monitor). If I reboot, the problem does not return for several days. Page faults are caused when the program does not find what it needs in cache or main memory, so it looks in the DLL or elsewhere for what it needs. This slows the system down to a crawl. My C partition is 3 gigs, and has over 2 gigs free for the swap file which is on drive C. I've got enough memory too. Why am I getting these page faults? Right now the system has been on for 2 days and the page faults are creeping up to about 60. Sometimes they will drop to 10 and other times they will peak at over 200! Help!
