Virtual memory setting

When you are running several files ,it will use RAM first and when it exceeds the limit of RAM it uses hard disk memory.In compared to RAM processing of files in hard disk takes more time which makes the computer slower.This problem is more in old computers where RAM is less.

If you want to change the virtual memory settings, follow following steps

Start >Control Panel >system >Advanced

In the Performance box, click on Settings





In the Performance options, select the Advanced tab and then click Change under the Virtual Memory heading.


It is better to make paging file on the portion of hard disk which does not have system files.this will speed up your computer
