Virtual Memory.
I am shortly going to upgrade my PC from 512k to 1 meg of RAM. I know about
the vcache setting and will create that when necessary. However, I set the Virtual Memory manually as I have been advised in the past that this is the best thing to do. At present both options are set to 512k (520) to mirror the actual RAM size. Not knowing how Virtual Memory interacts with Vcache etc, when I expand the RAM should I change the Virtual Memory setting to 1024 or leave it at 520? Thanks Alan |

Virtual Memory.
The advice you have received in the past is wrong. The best option is to
let Windows manage virtual memory for you. That way you don't have to worry about making any changes when you add extra RAM. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Alan" wrote in message ...
