    Hi,

    For WinXp I can tell u the way to increase ur virtual memory.

    1.Right Click on My Computers.
    2.Properties.
    3.Advanced.
    4.Performance Section -> Settings.
    5.Advanced.
    6.Last Section is related to Virtual Memory.
    7.Increase that.

    But use this intelligently because incresing it to a very huge size mat also hinder the performance.

    Hope this andwers ur query.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Mayank Shukla.

    Virtual Memory Manager

    Just check this......



    1. Control Panel / System.
    2. Locate the Virtual Memorysettings:
    Windows NT - Performance / Change
    Windows 2000 - Advanced / Performance / Change
    3. Set the Initial Size and Maximum Size accordingly.



    I think this should help you.

    Buddy, the problem is that I dont actually have a Windows NT/2000 system with me, else could have explained you better.
    Neways, you know there is another way of increasing it through making changes in the "boot.ini" file. I would suggest not to go for it, coz it hav few contrainst on it. Here it goes:

    snippet from boot.ini file.

    [boot loader]
    timeout=30
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="????" /3GB

    #-Link-Snipped-#
    The above link will be a fruitful one for you.




    Thanks and Regards,
    Mayank Shukla.

    Gyus a suggestion.

    Though the suggestion is good but generally it is hust a workaround for the problem.

    At times you may find the performance degrades with the increase in virtual memory.

    Reason is as gollows :

    Gyus a suggestion.

    Though the suggestion is good but generally it is hust a workaround for the problem.

    At times you may find the performance degrades with the increase in virtual memory.

    RAM: 3000 MB/s
    Hard Disk:10 - 40 MB/s

    As can be seen the RAM is X times faster than hard disk.

    The mircrosoft recommenndation is ,
    Virtual memory = 2 X Physical RAM.


    If the pagefile usage is more than 25 % as can be seen using 'perfmon' utility in windows , it means you really need to updgrade the Physical memory i.e. RAM.

    after setting the virtual memory to some specific value
    can we use it for some other purpose(storing normal data) or
    is it set aside only for paging activity n stuff??😕
