Set up virtual memory with the help of a master

If you're not very interested in this and just want the answers, I can tell you

1. Set the virtual memory to a certain disk, and consider the remaining space of the disk. (It is recommended that the remaining space is at least about 2 times of the physical memory, and at the same time, it is necessary to consider whether more things should be added to this disk in the future).

2. Since you have a large number of games on the D disk, (good habit!) Strongly support it, hehe......What about software? Are they all put on a separate plate (not a C drive)? And if your C drive is large enough, it doesn't hurt to set the default virtual memory to the C drive.

If you know more about the above, read on:

By default, virtual memory (also known as page files) occupies space on the system disk.

The popular saying on the Internet is that it is recommended to set the virtual memory to a disk other than the C drive. The reason is that the C disk is used as a system disk (which is usually the case), and there must be enough space for system upgrades, antivirus software virus database updates, etc., while at the same time, some software and programs automatically call virtual memory by default, regardless of whether the physical memory is sufficient or not.

Such as Photoshop, Auto CAD, etc.

There are many theories about the size of the virtual memory (page file), some say that it is set to a double of the physical memory, and some say that it is set to the same maximum and minimum value, both of which are twice the size of the physical memory.

In fact, the specific situation should be analyzed according to the actual situation. I recommend using the former if the physical memory is less than 1G; If it is greater than 1g, the latter can be used. (If space is tight and the physical memory is large enough, you can try turning off the virtual memory.)

When not using large software programs, there should be no problem. ）

Super recommended - according to the actual situation to judge whether your physical memory and virtual memory are suitable: when the computer pops up the "virtual memory insufficient" prompt, open the task manager, check the "performance" tab under the "pf usage" and physical memory usage, if the pf usage is basically full, and the physical memory is still very large, then it means that the program in use has a "humanized design", forced to call the virtual memory - then you can set the virtual memory to a larger try - However, this may not work. If you're running out of pf usage and physical memory, it's a sign that your physical memory isn't large enough - the best solution is to add a memory module.

As for the specific setting method of virtual memory, it should not need to be said more, right?

Hope it helps!

You can set it anywhere, as long as you have space on that disk.

Do you know how to set it yourself?

Desktop My Computer - Right-click --- Properties --- Advanced --- Performance settings.

Set --- advanced --- virtual memory settings.

How to set up virtual memory:

1. Right-click the "Computer" icon (XP is My Computer) and select Properties.

2. Click the "Advanced System Settings" tab in the system properties window, and then click the "Settings" button in the pop-up dialog box.

3. Click "Advanced" in the pop-up performance options window, and click the "Change" button in the virtual memory below.

4. The pop-up dialog box is to set the virtual memory, the virtual memory is best in the non-system disk, select the drive letter, and click "Custom size". Enter the "Initial Size" and "Maximum" and click the "Settings" button. (The minimum value of virtual memory is 1 to times that of physical memory; The maximum value of virtual memory is 2 to times that of physical memory.

5. If you say "To make the changes take effect, you need to restart the computer", click OK.

6. Click "OK" in all windows until it pops up "You must restart your computer for the new settings to take effect." Click "Yes" and the system will restart automatically.

After the reboot is complete, the virtual memory settings take effect.

Virtual memory is a technology for memory management in computer systems. It makes an application think that it has contiguous usable memory (a contiguous complete address space), when in reality it is usually divided into multiple physical memory fragments, and some are temporarily stored on external disk storage to exchange data when needed. At present, most operating systems use virtual memory, such as the "virtual memory" of the Windows family; Linux's "swap space", etc.
