Virtual Memory setting skills

Generally, Windows XP uses the remaining space of disk C as the virtual memory by default. Therefore, the larger the remaining space of disk C, the better the system will run, the Virtual Memory changes dynamically with your usage, so that disk fragments are easily generated on disk C, which affects the system running speed. Therefore, it is best to set the virtual memory in other partitions, such as disk D. View the virtual memory settings as follows:

Right-click "my computer", left-click "properties", click the "advanced" tab, click the "Settings" button in "performance", and then select the "advanced" tab, click the "change" button below. The pop-up window is the virtual memory setting window. Generally, the default virtual memory is a small to large value range, this is the range of the changed virtual memory size. It is best to give it a fixed value so that it is not easy to generate disk fragments. The specific value depends on your physical memory size, generally, it is 1.5 to 2 times the physical memory. For example, if the memory is 256 MB, set 256*1.5 = 384 Mb, or simply 512 MB. The setting method is as follows:

Assume that the memory is 256 MB, and the virtual memory is placed on disk D. You must first clear the default disk to ensure that disk C is selected, select "No paging file (n)", and then press "set, in this case, the virtual memory next to disk C disappears, and then disk D is selected. Select "Custom size" and add 512 to the "initial size" and "maximum value" boxes below, click the "Settings" button and you will see the "512-512" text next to drive D. This indicates that the settings are complete, and then confirm all the way. In the end, the system will restart and restart, the settings are complete.
