View 7 RepliesI'm running Windows 7 RTM 64bit.
I have 2*1GB DDR2 667MHz of RAM, and was wondering what should be the PF for me? Reading TweakGuides' Vista guide it says if you have 2 GB of RAM you should use Custom Size of 1024-1024 (min-max) MB.
Windows 7 should basically use the same architecture (kernel model) than Vista, so it should'nt be that different?
Is it safe to have 0 megabytes of virtual memory? I have 8 GB of DDR2 and i don't see why i would need virtual memory. Plus i need to save some disc space

View 9 Replies View Relatedjust purchased a cpu with windows 7. Wanted to increase virtual memory but didn't know how much I should increase it by. I have 8GB of ram and all that is allocated in virtual memory is 8183MB. I can increase it to 880,474MB didn't know how much I should increase it to? Any suggestions?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using Windows 7 now since 6th of May, and love it! I haven't had any troubles except 2, but this topic is meant for only one.
I remembered an application called Everest, it lists all of your hardware and information about it, OS and stuff, really nice. It also has tab for sensors, where you can monitor temperature.
When i was looking around in Everest, I found out somehow 7gigs. of virtual memory is available, and most of the time somewhere around 2gig. is being used. That was kind of weird, because I have 4 gigs of RAM, and most of the time only 25% is used of it. So, why would Windows prefer use of the virtual memory over the use of physical memory? I found out virtual memory could be managed in "advanced system settings". because 2.5 gigs of virtual memory was used most of the time, I thought: why not just completely disable paging file.
So it's: computer --> right click properties --> advanced system settings --> advanced tab --> performance --> settings --> virtual memory --> change.
So finally comes the problem, I have successfully disabled the paging file, and it says "total paging size for all drives: 0 mb". But when I go to Everest, it still says I have 7 gigs of Virtual Memory available, and it uses 2 gigs. I want to make full use of my physical memory!
What should my virtual memory settings be for best performance?
Dell Inspiron 1545
2.3 ghz
2 gb ram
64 bit
When I go to the virtual settings it sais "minimum 16 mb, recommended 3012 mb, currently allocated 2008 mb" Right now it is System Managed Size
I am looking to eliminate Virtual Memory. I have 8 gigs of ram and I want to force as much as possible to run from my ram as opposed to virtual memory.
View 10 Replies View RelatedWhat is the difference between virtual memory vs installed Ram? I have win7 pro , Gateway 5800 @ 3.20 GHZ , dual-core x64 system with GB ram installed. My sys specs says that I have 9GB of virtual memory available.My system seemed slow , so I checked the Memory alloted for my paging file and it said 512k! It recommended MB? So I set the Minimum at MB and the max at MB. It did not seem to make a major difference though. Should I reset it to below the 6GB total Ram or is that a separate issue? I use the computer mostly for video & web commenting but will be doing more offline gaming soon.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to upgrade my son's laptop from Vista to Windows 7. My son's computer is a Toshiba Qosmio and I ran the Toshiba Upgrade Tool with no problems. The problem I have now is that the virtual memory service is not starting so when I start the install of windows 7, I get the error "windows could not retrieve information about disks on this computer". I tried to manually start the service and get the error "service failed to start".
If I put it on automatic, it just stays on "starting". Obviously, this is not allowing windows 7 to see my disks. Disk management does not show my disks due to virtual memory service not being able to start. The computer is ready for the upgrade, just can't get passed this problem. I don't want to use the recovery disks if I can help it.

Does anyone have the same problem or have some tips to solve this?
I have a videoediting software that I am runing on 32 bit Windows 7 with 4 Gb RAM, the company that makes the software suggests to set the Virtual Memory/PageFile Size to double the RAM amount.I looked and mine is set to auto, I have many drives and all say none and are grayed out under paging file size for each drive. Which drive should I double the paging file ? the drive the software is installed on ? what about all my other drives, once I take it off auto they will not be managed. Should I set them all to double the RAM and if so how will it affect my system?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a M4A785-M asus Motherboard, a few months ago I sadly had to get rid of my Graphics card due to some IRL reasons, and I am left with the stock internal motherboard graphics, which aren't that bad for integrated. ATI Radeon HD 4200 256MB integrated graphics.Well, as you can tell by the crappy internal card, it is hard for me to play games, Minecraft, TF2, GTA Series (including 4) COD Portal 1 & 2 etc.So after a while I just accepted it, and became addicted to Minecraft.But recently I came across some BIOS issues, the in otherboard drivers crashed, fixed the issue with the Crash Free BIOS3 included with the motherboard, and realised that there were some extra drivers that I didn't have. It came with the turbo key, some extra software for light overclocking of the CPU, and a graphics overclocker.Me not being a common overclocker myself, I have no idea what I'm doing, my CPU is fine, I can live with what I have.. But I would like to know how to work the GPU NOS.So I can get back to gaming, the computer can barely run GTA4 with 12FPS on minimum settings. Really cheezy looking.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have ordered a new computer with 2TB SATA disk. The first step I must do is to partition a disk.As far as I have been reading tutorials on this site it is recommended to separate Windows/ programs and Documents into separate partitions. So I am going to create C- partition for Windows and Program Files of about 100MB.What about the other partitions. Is it worth to create separate partitions for say for "Images", "Documents", "Development Projects". Or is it better to put all this stuff into one partition? Advantage of multiple partitions, as I see, would be more flexibility for backup/recovery. From the other side, disadvantage of multiple partitions would be not optimal usage of disk space.
