For Windows XP systems, modifying virtual memory sizes can be done as follows:
In My Computer, right-click-> Properties-> Advanced-> The Settings button in the Performance box
-> the "Advanced" tab-> the Change button in the Virtual memory box
Then in the Drive box, select the location where the paging file is placed, and then click Custom Size below
and enter "Initial size" and "Maximum value", and finally press the "Settings" button, and then determine.
According to Microsoft, the minimum value of a virtual memory swap file should be 1.5 times times the amount of memory, but if the memory capacity is 512MB or even 1GB, it will occupy a lot of space. Therefore, when the total memory capacity is below 256MB, the minimum value of virtual memory is set to 1.5 times times; above 512MB, set to half of the memory capacity, between 256MB and 512MB is set to the same value as the memory capacity, you can put the initial size and
The maximum value is set to the same to avoid the system changing the paging file size frequently.
