After using it for a few hours, the new data collector set can make a basic and complete assessment of your usage. Under "paging file", there is a report about virtual memory usage. Click this report to view it. Therefore, the maximum size of the paging file is set to MB to save free space. It's also important to notice that you had better put the paging file on the drive which does not contain operating system or applications if you have more than one disk.
Keeping applications and paging files on different disks not only can minimize the usage of disk but also can improve the efficiency of disk. However, if you have only one disk and you put the paging files on a different volume in the same disk, it will not improve the efficiency of disk. The hard disk may contain Disk Fragmentation since its files are written in a non-sequential way. Therefore, if the paging file or the virtual memory partition is patchy, the disk seeking time may be increased but disk performance may be decreased.
Some people think that there will be disk fragments if Windows frequently read the pagefile. Actually, it's not. Once pagefile. Reading and writing file will not influence the size of pagefile. However, the system will create temppf. In Linux operating system, if you divide a separate partition to act as the memory, you can basically eliminate the effects brought by disk fragmentation. In general, Windows XP uses the free space of C drive to act as the virtual memory by default.
Thus, the larger free space the C drive has, the faster the system runs. Virtual memory will change dynamically as you use the C drive. Therefore, the C drive is easy to generate disk fragmentation to affect system operation speed. So well, you had better set another volume like D: as the virtual memory. Here, we take Windows XP for example. After that, you can see the Virtual Memory dialog box. As a matter of fact, you had better set a fixed value for the virtual memory to avoid disk fragmentation.
And the specific values depend on your physical memory size. And it is 1. If your memory size is over 2GB, you need no virtual memory. But, in some special situations, you also need the virtual memory. For instance, your system is low on memory when playing large 3D games and making large pictures, you can consider setting virtual memory.
Setting method as follows:. Let us suppose that you have M memory and you want to set D drive as the virtual memory. Cancel Submit. Nobody can tell you that without more information about your system. They can guess and suggest things like the Microsoft engaged Support Engineer "experts": "Increase the value of the initial and maximum size to a higher value" That makes no sense at all, but it is advice from these Microsoft engaged Support Engineer alleged "experts".
Do you increase by 10, , , a meelion? If your paging file is out of whack you might see stuff like this: Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low: Your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file. That means Windows XP is letting you know it is doing it's job. The message is not an error message - it is an informational message.
It is not necessarily a "problem", but the message is annoying. From my notes: Unless you know more about managing memory that Windows XP, it is usually best to just let XP handle the size of your virtual memory paging file. Make a note of the current settings in case you need to change them back later. Settings, Advanced tab, Virtual memory Make a note of the current setting so you can change things back later if you have a problem.
The bottom of the Virtual Memory window displays minimum and recommended settings for your computer's virtual memory. It is best to use these options, unless instructed by a computer technician to use different values. It is also important to note that changing your virtual memory settings could result in performance loss if settings are too high or too low. It is usually best to allow the operating system to manage the virtual memory settings automatically.
