| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|

1 |
Drivers and system code must remain in physical memory. |
Activation Method
To make changes to this entry effective, you must restart the system.

- Setting this value to 1 is useful when debugging drivers, because all of the code and data is always memory resident. It also improves performance on machines with a lot of memory, because it prevents disk reads to get code or data.
