What is virtual memory? How can i increase performance of virtual memory of my PC?
When your computer is running low on RAM and more is needed immediately, Windows uses hard drive space to simulate system RAM. This is known as virtual memory, and is often called the paging file. The default size of the virtual memory pagefile (named pagefile.sys) created during installation is 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your computer. You can optimize virtual memory use by dividing the space between multiple drives and removing it from slower or heavily accessed drives. To best optimize your virtual memory space, divide it among as many physical hard drives as possible. To change the size of disk space used for paging files go to: control panel>system>advanced>performance , click settings and in “virtual memory” part,click change! Good luck!
