Is it feasible for WinXP to set virtual memory to 0?

  
                

Before setting WinXP virtual memory to 0, we need to understand a concept —— What is a paging file? When WinXP runs, write temporarily unused data to virtual memory through paging, this is called paging file. In addition to freeing memory for programs and data that require immediate memory usage, many of the core features of Windows require the use of paging files.

And many WinXP users have lower computer configurations, only for surfing the Internet or watching movies, not playing large games or installing other software. They don't think they need to use paging files, so they will use system virtual memory. Is it feasible to set it to 0?

It is certainly possible to set the virtual memory to 0. When the user sets the system to a non-paged file, the virtual memory is displayed as 0, but after the restart makes it effective, we can Seeing that every program still takes up a bit of virtual memory, it will not be completely banned, and if the virtual memory is forced to 0, some third-party applications may encounter memory shortage errors. Even if you don't use third-party software anymore, the system's own IE, drawing and other programs will take up virtual memory, not only the game will take up virtual memory.
Virtual memory is set to 0

Therefore, Xiaobian recommends that you do not completely set the virtual memory to 0. If you feel that you can't use it, you can set the virtual memory to a smaller size. This will make your WinXP system run faster. I recommend you look at this article and look at the "WinXP system virtual memory optimization tutorial", which will help you understand the virtual memory settings.
