Virtual memory use misunderstanding multi-setting method should pay attention to

For many users, virtual memory is very strange, but the role of virtual memory is very large, you can use it if you need it, and Virtual memory is required to be set, so how to set it up, today this tutorial will introduce you to everyone.

Windows7 system virtual memory setting method:

Computer right button, properties, advanced system settings, performance > settings..., advanced, virtual memory > change..., automatic management cancellation , custom size, set, OK, exit reboot.

Common Mistakes in Virtual Memory:

1. The larger the virtual memory, the better.

Answer: Wrong. The virtual memory is too large, which wastes disk space, increases the time for head positioning, and reduces system execution efficiency without any benefit. Correct setting can save 256MB-4G space (depending on memory size)

2, virtual memory should not be set in system disk C (system disk is the same as other disks), but should be set in other non-system partitions .

Answer: Wrong! Because the C drive is the default system disk, the hard disk read and write most frequently is the system file and page file. What is the most time-consuming operation of hard disk reading and writing? It is the head positioning! The head positioning in the same partition is undoubtedly more time-saving than the long-distance positioning across the partition! So, the virtual memory in the system disk (system default Value) is the fastest and most efficient implementation.

3, the optimal value of virtual memory is 1.5-3 times the memory capacity.

Answer: Wrong! It should be judged according to the actual use. Especially the popularity of large memory today. Memory usage See the task manager's memory column. Generally 512MB of memory, according to the actual memory usage, you can set the virtual memory to 256-768MB (the sum of memory + virtual memory is generally 256MB higher than the normal occupancy).

1GB memory, according to the actual memory usage, you can set the virtual memory to 128-1024MB (the sum of memory + virtual memory is generally 256-512MB higher than the normal occupancy). Usually, people who normally occupy hundreds of megabytes (most of them) can even disable virtual memory (software-limited software can set a small amount of virtual memory, such as 16-128MB).

Memory is 2G and above, you can generally disable virtual memory (software limited to a small amount of virtual memory, such as 16-128MB). Some people who do use a lot of memory, such as playing large 3D games, making large pictures, 3D modeling, etc., and receiving the system memory shortage warning, need to set the virtual memory as appropriate.

Although virtual memory is not something that everyone has used and touched, the use of virtual memory will become a trend. If you use the correct method, you should go to school and you will end up one day. On. Virtual memory is only a supplement to the lack of real memory, so don't deify it. The read and write performance of virtual memory (that is, hard disk read and write) is only a fraction of the real memory performance, and it is very harmful to the hard disk! Can be used less, less use! The principle is enough to use + leave a small amount of allowance.

Virtual memory is really a good thing, although the scope of use is not very wide, but it is still used in many cases, so you should take a good look at the setup method, I hope to help everyone.
