I know it probably won't help with vtank/ac performance much, but usually your windows swap file should be at least as large as your real RAM is and at most 3GB (for 32bit windows versions pre Win7 at least). Fixed, manually set size is preferable to variable size or letting windows decide and in no case should you turn it off completely*. My personal observation also leads me to believe that 1 or 2 swap files are ok, but splitting it up to 3 or even more physical drives does not help - ideally you have 1 swap file on an otherwise empty partition at the beginning of a physical drive (and if you have more than 1 physical drive, chose the fastest and/or the one that does not contain windows or your software).

* Actually, if your partition is heavily fragmented and your swap file can't be created in one fragment, you should turn it off, create a placeholder (a truecrypt container or an .iso file for example) that is slightly larger, reboot and defrag, then delete the placeholder and create the swap file again. If you have the right software (old norton speed disk for example), let the placeholder be placed at the beginning of the partition during the defrag.

(Sorry for the OT post)

No worries..more information is better than less in this case. Here is the Decal export of my main computer. DOH!! I forget how to post the export!! Haaaaaalllp!

How can I set a "sticky" position?

 

-----signature-----

using fingers 4.0 with upgrade.


this is an ACM not a U CM so since you are sitting there you should in theory be in a state capable of moving the toon back to it's 'sticky'

 

-----signature-----

You could do that, or you could enable navigation and set a single waypoint

 

-----signature-----

oh RIGHT that thing about moving 2 feet


D'oh. ok ignore the silly fingers thingie take VI's advice

Is there any way to loot faster? As in, kill mob loot, kill next mob loot, instead of waiting till all mobs are dead to loot.

What setting sets the loot distance? I didn't see this anywhere.

Is there anyway to use lvl 7 war magic and lvl 8 buffs? I don't like using lvl 8 wars, doesnt help me kill any faster and is more of a money sink.

Is there anyway to do a continuous buff mode?

Check 'boost loot priority'.

Loot distance is always 5. If you set approach distance higher than this, it will approach further corpses to loot them.

Your other two questions are answered by the FAQ: http://www.virindi.net/wiki/index.php/Virindi_Tank_FAQ
