Guest gary Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 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?

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.

Indeed, initial and maximum values should be almost same to handle a healthy virtual memory management.
Guest db ´¯`·.. > Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 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. -- db ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·..><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º>¸. ><)))º>·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º> ..
