The default and recommended size of virtual memory is 1.5 times the amount of physical memory. I think 4096 (4GB) is the max so that will have to do. Might be more on 64Bit.

I've always set it at max regardless of RAM, my theory is why limit something when hard drives are big enough. I don't see how too much can be bad. If the PC needs it, it will use it. If it doesn't, it wont. My System: Hybr!d

Processes created on Windows Vista x64 Edition are allotted 8 TB in virtual memory for user processes and 8 TB for kernel processes to create a virtual memory of 16 TB." Other than that it depends entirely on what applications you're running. I'd be tempted to set paging to zero and see what happens. Set a restore point first. My System: Tim

Ok thanks. It was set at 16000MB's (the max) and i wanted to be sure that was the correct thing to do. LOL My HDD is just about full and it's not as easy to transfer stuff from one to another as it used to be.
EDIT: Thanks for that link Spot. Interesting reading on a variety of subjects about Vista. |
