Properly set the virtual memory of the xp system

I believe many users are confused about the concept of virtual memory. What is virtual memory? What is the role of virtual memory? How much should the virtual memory standard be set? Let Xiaobian tell everyone.

"Virtual Standard" "Standard Room"

When the system is running, first load the required commands and data from external storage (such as hard disk, floppy disk, CD, etc.). In the memory, the CPU reads the instruction or data from the memory to perform the operation, and stores the result of the operation in the memory. The function of the memory is like a “setter” role. When running a program requires a lot of data and takes up a lot of memory, the memory will be filled with “, and in this "warehouse" there is always a part of the temporarily unused data occupying a limited space, so Put this part of the "inert" data "to" and go out to make room for "activity" data usage. At this time, you need to create another backup "Warehouse" to store the "Inert" data. Due to the large space of the hard disk, the Microsoft Windows operating system will select the address of the backup "warehousing" on the hard disk, and this backup "warehouse" is virtual memory. By default, virtual memory is saved in the system partition of the hard disk as a swap file called Pagefile.sys.

Manually setting virtual memory

In the default state, the system manages virtual memory, but the default management mode of the system is usually conservative, which will cause the page file to be discontinuous during automatic adjustment. , while reducing the efficiency of reading and writing, the work efficiency is not high, so there will often be a "sufficient memory" prompt, let us set it up.

1 Right-click on the “My Computer” icon on the desktop and select the “Properties” option from the right-click menu that appears to open the “System Properties” window. Click & ldquo in the window; Superior & rdquo; tab, Advanced Settings dialog box appears;

② Click & ldquo; performance & rdquo; area & ldquo; set & rdquo; button in the event of & ldquo; Performance In the Options “ window, select the “Advanced" tab to open its dialog.

3 In the dialog box, you can see the area about virtual memory. Click the “Change” button to enter the setting window of “Virtual Memory”. Select a partition with a larger free capacity, check the box in front of “Customize Size", fill in the specific values ​​in the "Initial Size", “Maximum" column, and then click &ldquo ; Set → OK & rdquo; button (Figure 2), and finally restart the computer to make the virtual memory settings take effect.

By Xiao Bian above in detail, I believe we have a certain understanding of this virtual memory, and then hands them to set their own virtual memory, so that when the game is not in the cards.
