[SOLVED] Virtual memory settings

shipboard · 12-05-2007, 07:53 PM

I have recently added a 512mb stick to increase my total ram to 1gb. On checking my virtual memory settings it reads Initial size 720mb Max size 1440mb. Can anyone confirm if these settings are correct.

Thanks in advance.

If want to define virtual memory u should do this ....

physical memory x 1.5 = virtual memory

That is correct, if you set the virtual memory manually, for most people setting it to "let windows manage" is more than adequate. Windows does do a good job of managing virtual memory for all but the mega power users.
