Abt virtual Memory?

[digit i am thinking]

Is increasing Virtual Memory improve the performance of system and specially
Games?

Is Virtual Memory uses the C drive space?

I have 2GB Virtual Memory max size is 4GB.

What should i do?

wen your RAM is full then windows treats sum parts (space) of ur HDD as RAM (VIRTUAL RAM) through PAGING... depending on the amount of RAM u hav on ur P.C u can set the size of the PAGING file......To get best performance set the PAGING FILE on drive where o/s is not installed.

& ha if ur os is intalled in C:\ then by default windows will create a PAGE file on c:\ only.....

you can keep the virtual memory wherever you want.



keep 1GB as VM, its enough.

[digit i am thinking]

To get best performance set the PAGING FILE on drive where o/s is not installed.

But SYS has already allocated 2Gb on C:
if i change then will it completely move to another drive (say D: )

Actually i want to improve FPS of game.

if you have another HDD, then move it to that HDD, otherwise keep it in C: itself.

how much RAM you have?

[digit i am thinking]

1.5 Gb DDR

No, It wont increase the performance, but it may decrease. I used to set my Virtual Memory for 0 MB

As you have only 1.5GB Ram, set your virtual memory around 1.5GB on the outer tracks of the fastest Hard Drive.

not true.

games like GTR2 need atleast 1GB of VM.

it fastens up the loading & gives 2-3fps

so what should i do?
