RajanPERT 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 I think there is no need of change in virtual memory. It is ok. If you want real performance increase your memory from 128 to 256 or maximum. Thanks and Take Care! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harsh 1 Report post Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) ideally, the minimum virtual memory size should be set to the double of your actual memory. and maximum 4 to 8 times of the actual memory. maximum memory should be as per your requirement & usage. as per your machine and OS i suggest you to keep minimum size 512mb and maximum 1024mb. moreso, its advised to keep the pagefile on the different partition than the OS. i.e. if windowsxp is in C Drive, keep the page file on D drive for better performance. i think you must have atleast 256md ram in order to run winxpsp2 on any pc. i cant imagine how you would be using winxpsp2 on 128mb ram and that too on a p3-800. its rightly said in a previous message, upgrade your system. anyways, good luck.
