How to increase Virtual Memory


Before we learn how to do to increase the virtual memory on the OS (operating system) you, it is good we need to know what is virtual memory.

Virtual memory is the RAM (Random Access Memory) RAM which serves to hold temporary data that will be processed in the processor and also holds temporary data that has been in the process, in other words, RAM is the bridge between the processor and hard drive.

Because the hard disk of a rotating disc (with a mechanical speed), then the hard drive speed will not be able to match the speed of the processor. So from that needed a tool to balance both this speed (processor & hard drive).

If you have the RAM to the small size and running multiple applications at once (twisted music, typing, etc.) then the RAM will fill up quickly and eventually there was a message that the Virtual Memory Low. so I suggest you increase the capacity of computer RAM, because the computer will be slow due to the RAM memory is full (as well as a full bridge so cars and other vehicles that pass have to queue).

Note: real memory in our computers there are two, ROM (usually used as the BIOS) and RAM (which usually people refer to as "Computer Memory"

Okay, next we go on stage to enlarge the virtual memory. See the steps below:

If you are using Windows XP, this is how to increase virtual memory:
1. Click Start - Control Panel.
2. Double click the System icon.
3. In the System Properties window click the tab "Advanced".

4. There are three sections in the advanced tab, click the "Settings" at the performance.
5. In the performance options window, click the "Advanced" tab.

6. Click the change button on the virtual memory (bottom).


7. Change the virtual memory size to 4 times before.

Note: Because the software is increasingly sophisticated, requiring Random Access Memory is the greater, then the new generation operating system (from the old school Windows era if not mistaken) to provide facilities for the use of hard drive capacity to be used as virtual memory, false memory or a virtual alias. If there is a message of low virtual memory, it's because the hard drive for virtual memory allocations are governed by the software you are almost completely used by software that is currently active.

So first info from me and hopefully benefit us all.
