Now that the popularity of Windows Vista is already very wide, and there are many computers whose memory has reached 2G, how to better use this 2G or more memory to accelerate the system, this is the experience to share with everyone.
first to introduce a few concepts. (To make the article as most readers can understand, so try to avoid a technical description)
1, Virtual Memory: Virtual memory is hard disk space posing as computer memory to make up for the lack of memory space (because memory than The price of the hard disk is high). The speed of the memory is much faster than the speed of the hard disk. Some files that are often used in normal systems are stored in memory, and memory can't be stored in virtual memory. Although the memory is virtualized by the hard disk, the memory capacity seems to increase, but the hard disk is always a shortcoming in some speeds.
2, memory disk: Speaking of memory disk is a virtual hard disk is divided into a part of the space in physical memory to act as a hard disk. Its use is to transfer some of the things stored in virtual memory and commonly used files (such as IE cache) into memory, thereby improving the speed of response. The memory disk is used to store some commonly used page files and temporary files. Because the file is read and written to the memory, the speed of booting and shutdown will be slowed down. (Ramdisk: Ramdisk)
3, Superfetch: Vista improvements in the system of a memory management functions, Superfetch is that it can record, identify the user's most frequently used software combination (such as the first open MSN to open. QQ), and intelligently preloads the software you are likely to use into memory, in other words, everyday software loads faster.
a lot of people believe that the use of memory disk function, can improve the response speed of the system. However, as a user with 2G memory or more memory, the effect of using a memory disk is not as good as directly closing virtual memory. The size of the memory disk limits the number of page files stored in the memory. After the virtual memory is turned off, the page file that should have been placed on the virtual memory will be stored in the memory, so the speed increase will be more obvious than using the memory disk. Superfetch, I think it needs to be improved, because IE stops responding when it is turned on on the author's computer. It is rare to appear after shutdown. It will take up some memory, and the memory usage will increase a lot after booting for a while.
may write somewhat complex, then to sentence a brief summary: more than 2G or 2G users, they do not play the big game, you can turn off virtual memory. Users of 1G to 2G can use virtual memory, which is about 1.5 times the size of memory; you can also use the memory disk if you are not bothered. For users with less than 1G of RAM, it is recommended not to use Vista.Superfetch to turn it off (you can use Vista Optimizer's service optimization to turn it off).
