Virtual Memory help

I know that if I make my Virtual Memory say more then it is I sould have it put the file on my secondary hard drive.

This way when win7. goes to use it it will rujn faster then if it was taking it off the hard drive in use.

Am I right?

 

Supposedly, Yes, as long as it is actually a separate drive and Not just a different partition on the same drive.
Also, it's better to put it on an Internal drive rather than an External hard drive.

Increasing the Size of the Virtual Memory is not really a factor.

It is best to let Windows manage the pagefile size.
This should prevent any available Virtual Memory error messages.

How to Change the Virtual Memory Paging File in Vista and Windows 7

 

I do have an internale secondary hard drive and I do know win7. sould handel it.

But if I let win7 handel it it will take as mutch or as little as it needs on the Fly.

So how do I know the Default size it is useing right now?

 

The Virtual Memory dialog box should show you "Currently Allocated".
See the last image in this article:
How To Increase Virtual Memory Size In Windows 7

You can also look at the file size of pagefile.sys, which is probably in kilobytes, and convert that to megabytes.
Just go to google.com and enter the size like:
1500000 kilobytes IN megabytes

 

Thank you but I just need to know 2. things I did not see?

How do I change were my Page File will be saved? I want to have win7. put it on my Internale secndary hard drive.

And 2. it says win7. will tell you what it recomands you to use for page file size. But if I have a 4. GB installed can I set it to 8. or would this be to high?

 

In that last dialog, you should see a list of available drives.
First select the C: drive and set it for No paging file and click Set.
Then select the second Internal drive and set it for System managed size and click Set
Then click OK.
Continue clicking OK to back out of the Virtual Memory dialogs.
You will be prompted to Restart (reboot).
After the restart, go back and check that the settings are right.

If you select System Managed Size, you don't need to specify a size.

 

Sorry I ment if I want to set the size and I know I have 4. GB installed can I set it to 8. GB?

Because I thought you sould only go 2. times higher then what you have installed??

 

You can try setting the Initial size to 4000 MB
and the Maximum size to 8000 MB.
Then reboot.

If you should later get an error message about Virtual Memory being too low,
increase the Initial size by 1000 to 5000 MB and try that.
