Place your Windows Pagefile on another harddisk on another controller than your Windows installation, 512MB minimum / 1024MB maximum (for ~384MB installed). some one on here told me this .well i upgraded to a 200 gb hard drive .can i do this and how please help.
no thats not neccesary unless your like me and have used up all the space with in a short amount of time. If you have 2 hard drives you can make the 2nd drive the one thats going to control your virtual memory but by changing this you will need to do a defrag straight after this.The end result wll be that your pc should be faster. Ok here we go right click my computer and go down to properties: now on the next screen click the advanced tab Now we are getting there: after you choose the advanced tab the next screen is where the settings are.Click only the settings tab, nothing else please Click on the tabin the middle, the advanced one and once you get the next window opening up go down to where it says virtual memory and click the change button what are the stats that you see: the figures that are displayed before you.Here are mine
it says total paging files for all drives 552 mb. then if i hit change c:shows size 552-1104 but next g: shows blank thankx for help. how can i show those boxes like you did.
ok can you download snagit7 from the link below http://www.techsmith.com/products/snagit/default.asp?CMP=KAC-SGoogle this is a trial version. Are you a member of a free web host site? do you know how to upload a pic from your pc to the webhost site, then copy the properties of the file and paste them between the brackets so they can be seen here if not i guess we will be doing a lot more together before we fix the virtual memory.
ok i captured those boxes but cannot paste how do i do this thanks again .but i got text instead Virtual Memory Drive [Volume Label] Paging File Size (MB) C: [DRV2_VOL2] 552 - 1104 G: 3[DRV2_VOL1] Paging file size for selected drive Drive:36 °F C: [D36 °FOL2] Space available: 14166236 °F Custom size: 36 °F Initial size (MB): 552 Maximum size (MB): 1104 System managed size No paging file Set Total paging file size for all drives Minimum allowed: 2 MB Recommended: 550 MB Currently allocated: 552 MB OK Cancel
see where it says initial size: change that to 1024 see where it says maximum size: change that also to 1024 this will now fix if you get low memory messages. You dont really need to do this as its for people who have more than one hard drive not one hard drive with 2 partitions. oK next press the set button on the right hand side.RESTART your pc and the 1st thing you will need to do is do a defreag of your systemas you have just changed its properties and they wont take effect until after the re organising of the system
no i mean disk defragmentation, might take about 3 hours to do. go to: start all programs accessories system tools disc defragmentation let it run by itself it will be quicker that way. Were you able to change the figures to what i specified
quote >Were you able to change the figures to what i specified > yes i changed them to 1024........ and i defraged also .will i see any more speed this way?????what i really want to do is be able to run nero and at the same time go on ie. when i run nero and then go on ie it takes a while to go from page to page. i only have 368 mb of ram.some one said if i empty the start menu program folder(and leave just one or two)it would free up some ram if i delete these from the folder it wont hurt the program will it? thanx again for all your help Total Physical Memory 384.00 MB Available Physical Memory 137.11 MB can i make this higher
if you get rid of all the useless programs that people have at there start menu and kept it to a bare minimum you may be able to get a more productive response with your computer via burning but you wont get very far with trying to multitask unless you up your pc to one that supports say 4 gig of ram, has hyper threading technology installed etc.I can as i have 1024 DDR PC400 ram installed withg a decent chipset.UMMM maybe look at a p4 3.2 gig with at least 512 DDR ram, if you are going to upgrade
is this ram any good its 1gb i am going to order it soon quote>up your pc to one that supports say 4 gig of ram >explain??????????????? Product Description And Specifications DDR266 SDRAM provides twice the memory bandwidth of earlier PC100 and PC133 memory. This bandwidth improvement is reached by transferring data on both the rising and falling edge of the clock cycle, hence the name "Double Data Rate." Other benefits of DDR SDRAM include enhanced multimedia capabilities, increased PC headroom for memory-intensive applications, and enhanced server capabilities for faster data mining.
