The virtual memory prompt is too small, should I use it?

Virtual memory is hard disk space that Windows XP uses as part of the memory. Even if the physical memory is large, virtual memory is essential. Virtual memory on the hard disk is actually a huge file with a file name, which is usually not visible in the state.

You must turn off Explorer's protection of system files to see them. Virtual memory is sometimes referred to as a "page file" from the filename.

3D game-based application.

3D games are an application with high requirements for CPU, graphics card, and memory, and the average person's memory will not exceed 256M, so hard disks will also join the ranks of helping to temporarily exchange data. The author recommends that you preset the virtual memory to be larger, this is due to the fact that 3D rendering of characters and scenery models requires a lot of memory resources, and the virtual memory will also become very large, in the process of the game, the amount of computation of the game itself is already very large, the CPU load is very heavy, if the initial virtual memory is not enough, if you want to temporarily increase it, Windows will write new data to the disk - obviously, generating a larger file during the game is different from changing the settings usually, and the whole system will be slowed down, Sometimes, it can even lead to illegal operations due to out-of-sync memory and disk speeds. When I was playing the version, I found that a map often exited illegally, and at the same time found that the hard disk light flashed wildly, and then tried to increase the initial virtual memory to more than 750M, and the stability of the game immediately increased greatly.

It is recommended that if the space is sufficient, the initialization value should be set to more than 800m, which is helpful for the smoothness of the game.

No, virtual memory is automatically allocated by the operating system and is an area that is demarcated from the hard disk.

However, your memory is a little smaller, you can consider adding memory.

No, sometimes such a prompt is a system bug!

My Computer - Properties - Advanced - Performance Options.

No, you don't. There's super magic optimized memory.

Virtual memory is not physical memory, if the computer is not easy to use, it is useless to add virtual memory, if your computer is 4G memory, it is recommended to add 4-8G memory, because the minimum memory of the current system is 8G memory to make do.

1) Win7810 method:

Right-click on the computer or this computer to select Properties Select the advanced system settings on the left Settings in Performance Advanced Virtual memory options selection change Automatic management uncheck Click on the custom size Add a value to the initial size and maximum value, see below, press the setting option after adding, press OK on it, of course, you can also do without setting, I'm like this, don't remove the check in front of the page size option that automatically manages all drives, if you don't check it, press OK.

The general settings have something to do with the size of your memory:

It is recommended to set the initial size and maximum value to 1-2 times of your physical memory at the same time, such as 2G set to 4096MB (2G memory is 2 times), 3G set to 4608MB (3G memory is doubled), 4G memory is set to 4096MB (1 times of 4G is not enough to add), 6-8G memory or larger is selected to automatically manage, if your physical memory is 2G, it is recommended to upgrade your physical memory (the initial size and maximum value settings should be the same).

If it is 6-8G or larger, you must set it, the maximum value is 1 times the physical memory, or a little less, and the initial size is set to half a time, because the larger the physical memory, the virtual memory does not need to be set too large.

2) XP's method:

To set up virtual memory, right-click on My Computer Properties Advanced Performance Settings Advanced Changes in Virtual Memory Select a custom size, set both the initial size and the maximum value, and set it to 1-2 times your physical memory. If you have 1GB of RAM, set both the initial size and the maximum to 2048MB.

After setting, you need to press the "Settings" button, and then press OK and Apply, and restart the computer to set the settings to take effect (the method of setting how much is the same as mentioned above).

The available memory should be physical memory, you will call virtual memory when you run out of physical memory, the memory is not enough or add a memory module, the speed of the hard disk can not be compared with the memory module, the fast memory module reads and writes 10g per second, how much does your hard disk read and write per second, you measure it yourself, when the memory runs out, virtual memory comes in handy, which can solve the problem that the memory is not enough to crash and stuck.
