Methods To Increase The Virtual Memory

Hey, have you got fed up with your computer, its speed and hanging problem especially when you open multiple tasks at a time. Have you ever complained of gaming problems in your computer, such as counter strike game is hanging up in the midway, damn bullets are hitting you and you just freezing up their. The solution is virtual memory which should be increased to enhance the multitasking performance. Virtual Memory is one of the vital factor for your computer system's performance.  Virtual memory is nothing but the reserved memory space in your hard disk drive toassist RAM.

Windows values virtual memory when it doesn’t have sufficient “regular” personal memory to present a task. When it does this, Windows uses your hard disk to store data that normally would be put into your RAM memory. RAM is short for random access memory. Its major job is to process the information inside your computer setup. RAM is what is used to burden all of those programs that start up on your computer each day.

Steps to increase the virtual memory size are as follows:

1. Right click on the My Computer and select "Properties".
2. Click on the "Advanced System Settings" located at left side. Or go through Control Panel --> System.
3.  In the Advanced tab of the System Properties locate the Performance group and click on the "Setting" to reach "Performance Option.
4. In the performance option window click on the "Advanced" tab.
5. In the Advanced tab of Performance Option locate the Virtual Memory group and click on "Change" to reach at the "Virtual Memory" Window.
6. Uncheck the "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" check box to set virtual memory yourself.
7. To set the virtual memory select the desired drive and see the recommended size and currently allocated size.
8.  Then select "Custom size" option. 

Virtual memory makes submission programming easier by concealing fragmentation of physical memory, by delegating to the kernel the problem of organizing the memory hierarchy (eliminating the need for the program to handle overlays explicitly), and when each method is run in its own dedicated address space, by obviating the need to relocate program code or to access memory with relative addressing.
