is there any effect if your computer has a low virtual memory?
Your computer will slow down, and it's possible that some software may eventually fail.

I have a question; I recently upgraded my computer's memory to 1.50 Ram of memory from 1Ram. So, said that, I was checking on my Virtual Memory and it was set to 1536 Initial size and to 3072 Maximum size but, down below that it said that the recommended paging size should be set to 2299 so, I did it.
Now my question is; "was it good to change it or should I change it back to what it was..??

Please advice Leo and if you can e-mail me the answer as well, I will totally appreciate it.

Thank you!

Favio.

If I increase my RAM, will I then be able to increase my virtual memory? I am trying to save a large movie file to a CD, evertime I get just about to the end of the movie the message increasing virtual memory comes up, my CD will finish, however just the music portion of my movie finishes and some of the pictures at the end are lost.

Thanks,

LT

I seem to have malware in my virtual memory and i have tried various programs to remove it, the best has been ewido,it recognizes it but there is an error during cleaning. I was wondering if you might know of any other programs that might be able to specifically target malware in virtual memory

Regards Josh

I have about the same question as Jason. I was wondering if there was any way at all to get more MB of RAM. Because I've heard somewhere that you can somehow "tweak" your computer to get more, but I'm a bit skeptical about it. My computer only has 124 MB of RAM. Some of my games require a lot more that this. I meet all the other requirements but it's the RAM that kills me.

If you're truly sure that there is no way to increase it the way it is please say so. Other than me going out and buying things to increase it, is there any other options to increase it?

However I would check with Compaq to find out the specific capabilities of the specific graphics adapter installed in your machine.

Is there a way of setting the virtual memory limit past the 4gb limit on Windows 2000 Server.
This is needed for a very resource intensive application.

I've a question. Before that this is abt my system:
Intel Celeron 800 MHz and 256Mb RAM with Windows XP home

I am having problem with my pc for past 2 days. previously it was working fine but now its like some 486 machine. It takes forever to do anything. I mean its almost hangs everytime. e.g. if I start a movie in realplayer it will take almost 3 minutes to start the movie. Then, if I try to switch bet. windows in IE then it will take another forver.

And the CPU always runs at almost 100% with a single application like realplayer.

The I tried to increase my virtual memory from the recommended 382MB to 512 Mb with a max of 1GB. I thought this would improve the performance. But nothing happened.

Could you help me in this regard ? I mean to make the comp a little faster from now like 486 to the original celeron.

Thanks in advance,
Kaushal.

PS. I've tried Ad-ware and Spybot to check if there is no spyware in my comp or some redundant processes that might slow the comp, but it has only 19 processes when nothing is being done.
