Virtual Memory too low


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a Pentium 4 CPU 3.00 GHz 2.99 GHzm 504 Mb of Ram.

 

Under Virtual Memory:

 

Performance Options, Advanced, "Processor scheduling" and "Memory

Usage" are both seleted.

 

Under Performance settings

Space Available = 25277 MB

"Custom Size" is selected and the Initial and Maximum sizes are

1512 MB.

Total paging file size for all drives: Minimum 2 MB, Recommended 753

MB.

 

What should I change to resolve the "Virtual Memory too low"

condition?

What should the settings be changed to?

I'd mark the box, let the system manage it.

Set it to "System Managed Size".

Don't forget to click on "Set" when done.

BTW, why did you set it to Custom? For most users the System Managed Size

works perfectly well.

 

Have a look here for further info:

Normally it's pretty enough to have virtual memory about 1.5 times

more than your physicala memory, but in extreme cases there isn't any

problem to increase your virtual memory.

 

Indeed, initial and maximum values should be almost same to handle a

healthy virtual memory management.

Re: Virtual Memory too low

 

you have answered your

own question.

 

set the min and max as

"recommended" by your o.s.

 

you can then tweak the

re adjust the sizes later.

 

as you already know

windows has no trouble

in notifing you....

 

as a tip, you might want

to increase the max size

to 1.5 times the amount

of ram you have installed.

 

but you can do this later

since it seems that windows

is suggesting you rarely

exceed 753 megs of virtual

mem.
