Setting virtual memory

The concept of virtual memory is relative to physical memory. When the system's physical memory space is not enough, OS
will be on the hard disk. Open up a disk space as memory usage, this part of the hard disk space is called virtual memory. Windows
98 uses the form of Win386.swp file, while Windows
2000/XP uses the page file pagefile.sys to manage virtual memory. First, the size of the situation 1. General In general, it is recommended that Windows automatically allocate management virtual memory, which can dynamically adjust the size of virtual memory according to the actual memory usage. 2. About the minimum value Windows recommended page file minimum value should be the current system physical memory capacity plus 12MB, and for users with physical memory capacity less than 256MB, it is recommended to set the minimum value of the page file to be larger: 1 use For users with 128MB or less of memory, it is recommended to set 1.75 times the current physical memory capacity to the minimum value of the page file. 2 For users with memory sizes between 128MB and 256MB, it is recommended to set 1.5 times the current physical memory capacity to the minimum value of the page file. 3. About the maximum value Generally speaking, the maximum value of the page file is set as large as possible. It is recommended to set it to 2 to 3 times the minimum value. 4. Extreme situation If the hard disk space is tight, when setting the page file, just ensure that it is not less than 3/4 of the physical memory.

If the physical memory is large (greater than 512MB), you can disable virtual memory. (Shanghai Ren Yawei) 5. According to different task environment settings 1 3D games-based environment 3D games are very high CPU, graphics card and memory requirements, if the physical memory is less than 256MB, it is recommended to preset the virtual memory a little larger, this It is very helpful to improve the stability and fluency of the game. 2 Play video-based environment Video applications have a lot of appetite for hard disk space, but don't set up virtual memory as much as in 3D gaming environments, especially for Windows XP users. Because Windows XP does not automatically release the unneeded space, which means that the Pagefiles.sys file will get bigger and bigger. If you put virtual memory and Windows XP in the same partition and play video files such as RM and ASF, the system will often prompt you that the virtual memory is set too small or the disk space is insufficient. Looking at the page file at this time, it is already 1GB in size. Therefore, Windows XP users who often enjoy video files are advised to set the initial value to a smaller value or to transfer virtual memory to a partition other than the system disk. Second, the setting method The following is to transfer the virtual memory in Windows XP as an example to introduce the virtual memory setting method: enter “ open → control panel & rarr; system & rdquo;, select “ advanced & rdquo; tab, click & ldquo In the "Performance" column, click the "Settings" button, select the "Advanced" tab, and click the "Change" button in the "Virtual Memory" column to enter the "Virtual Memory" window. Select the system drive letter in the drive list, then check the “No paging file” option, and then click the “Settings” button; then click on the other partitions and select the “Custom Size” option in “ Set the initial size & rdquo; and “maximum value, then click the “Set” button, and finally click the “OK” button to exit.
