Kneel and beg! Workaround for virtual memory

Improper setting of virtual memory.

Improper setting of virtual memory may also lead to the problem of insufficient memory, under normal circumstances, the size of virtual memory is 2 times the size of physical memory, if it is set too small, it will affect the normal operation of system programs. Resize virtual memory Take WinXP as an example, right-click "My Computer", select "Properties", then in the "Advanced" tab, click the "Settings" button in the "Performance" box, switch to the "Advanced" tab, and then click the "Change" button in the "Virtual Memory" box, then reset the virtual memory size, and restart the system when you are done.

The virtual memory is insufficient because the virtual memory settings in Windows are too small or the hard disk space where the virtual memory is located is insufficient. It is recommended to place the virtual memory in a different partition from the operating system, and set a fixed size, generally 1 5 times the memory capacity of the system; Right-click "My Computer", select "Properties", pop up the system properties window, select the "Performance Options" tab, click the "Virtual Memory" button below, pop up the virtual memory settings window, click the "User Specify Virtual Memory Settings" radio button, "Hard Disk", please select the partition with a larger remaining space, and then enter the appropriate range value in the "Minimum" and "Maximum" text boxes. If you're having trouble using your system to get the maximum and minimum values, you can choose to "let Windows manage the virtual memory settings", but make sure that the partition where the virtual memory is located has enough space left (more than twice the system memory).

Right-click on My Computer - Properties, Dot"Advanced"tab, click on the Virtual Memory section"Changes".

The page file is the form of virtual memory, and it is best to store it on the disk where the XP is located.

Then check"Custom size"

The minimum value is a multiple of your computer's physical memory, and the maximum value is 3 times the physical memory.

OK. But! It's important to note that if you have very little physical memory, no amount of virtual memory will help! The best thing to do is to fill up the memory.

Again, 256 is too little for XP! If you install a little more software, the computer will not be able to do it! It is highly recommended to add memory, but now it is simply caused by insufficient physical memory, and no matter how you set it up, it is in vain.

Right-click"My computer"--> attribute --> advanced --> correspondence"Performance"of"Settings"--> Advanced--> the lowest virtual memory"Changes"

Now choose a disk with a large remaining space, such as disk D and disk. Customize the size and increase it appropriately"Initial size"with"maximum"For example, my computer has 256M RAM, and I set the initial size to 1024 and the maximum value to 2048 (required for the game, so I set it to a larger size) Other disk options"No paging files"Set the back point"Settings"button, all the way"OK"Quit.

Set up virtual memory to be automatically managed.

1) Set the page file in the partition where the windows system is located, and the size of the file is determined by your system settings. Here's how to set it up: Turn it on"My computer"of"attributes"Settings window, switch to"Advanced"tab, in"Boot and failback"windowed"Write debug information"bar, if you are"None", set the page file size to about 2MB, if adopted"Core memory storage"with"Full memory storage", you can set the page file value to be larger, which is about the same as physical memory.

- There is a contradiction here about whether to set the page file for the system partition: if it is set, the system may frequently read this part of the page file, thereby increasing the load on the track where the system disk is located, but if it is not set, when the system has a blue screen of death (especially the stop error), the dump file cannot be created.

As a result, program debugging and error reporting are no longer possible. So the compromise is to set a smaller page file on the system disk, as long as it is sufficient.

2) Create a blank partition separately, set virtual memory in the partition, its minimum value is set to multiple of the physical memory, and the maximum value is set to 3 times of the physical memory, the partition is specially used to store page files, do not store any other files. The reason why a separate partition is used to set virtual memory is mainly based on two considerations: first, because there are no other files on the partition, the partition will not produce disk fragmentation, which can ensure that the data reading and writing of page files are not interfered with by disk fragmentation; Second, according to Windows' memory management technology, Windows will give priority to partitions that are not frequently accessed.

Page files, which also reduces the chance of reading page files in the system disk and reduces the pressure on the system disk.

3) Other hard disk partitions do not set any page files. Of course, if you have multiple drives, you can create a page file for each drive. When information is distributed across multiple page files, the drive controller can perform read and write operations on multiple disks at the same time.

In this way, the performance of the system will be improved.

Tip: The minimum value of virtual memory allowed to be set is 2MB, and the maximum value cannot exceed the remaining space value of the current hard disk, and it cannot exceed the memory addressing range of the 32-bit operating system - 4GB.

Here's how to get the correct virtual memory value:

1.Run to open Performance Monitor, the performance logs and alerts on the left, and click to select the register log, right-click in the blank space of the panel on the right, select New Log Setting, name it pagefile, and press Enter to confirm.

2.Under the General tab, click the Add Register button, select Paging File from the Performance Object drop-down menu in the new pop-up window, select "Select Register from List", then click % Usage Peak, select "Total" in the example, and click the "Add" button.

3.Then close this window and click the "OK" button in Figure 3. Click "Yes" to create a log file.

Then open the Log Files tab, select Text File (Comma Separated) from the Log File Type drop-down menu, and remember the path to the log file shown in the For example box.

4.This way, after clicking OK, the counter is already running, and you can go about your daily operations on your computer and open and close as many frequently used apps and games as you want. After a few hours of use, basically the register can already make a complete assessment of your usage.

5.In this case, you need to stop the register first, also in the register log window, select our new page file register, then right-click, and select Stop. Open the log file with Notepad.

6.It is important to note that the number in the log is not the usage of the paging file, but the usage. That is to say, according to the display of the log file, the system generally uses only about 25 paging files, and the current paging file of the system is enough to have 2GB, so in order to save hard disk space, the maximum value of the paging file can be reduced to 512MB size.

For the minimum value, you can first find the average usage based on the usage rate in the log, and then multiply it by the maximum value.

Also, the virtual memory should not be set on the system disk, which is generally the C disk, it is recommended that you set it on the drive letter where you store the data.

The minimum is 2000m, the maximum is 3000m.

Virtual memory is usually set to a multiple of the physical memory. In addition, it can be set to be automatically managed by the system.
