Thanks Don, it was accidental, but that is almost how I did it ... well, one day later but using the 'mydefrag' program. Should I do it again with the "no page file", another defrag and then set it back to 6500?

Set the PC to no swap file, defrag, then create a fixed size swap file, 2.5X the memory (as stated earlier). This results in a clean, not fragmented swap file, that will stay that way.
