Note Image Note

Windows 2000 does not add this entry to the registry. You can add it by editing the registry or by using a program that edits it.

You should avoid changing the default value of this entry. The default value is scaled from the current memory resources on the computer. If you change the value, it will not automatically scale as memory is either added or removed.
