Click on the Advanced tab in the System Properties dialog box and click on the Settings button below Performance. Uncheck the " Automatically manage paging file… " checkbox, select the Drive where you want your Virtual Disk to be located.
Click on the Custom size: radio button and set the Virtual Memory size desired see note below , you must click Set for the change to take place. Results will vary based on the type of work you do on your computer, you should try several settings until you find the one that works for you. You will also notice that the Operating System recommends a setting — look at the value next to Recommended. Click the 'Settings' button under the 'Performance' section to open another window.
Click on the new window's 'Advanced' tab, and click 'Change' under the 'Virtual Memory' section. If you have a page file enabled on your machine, which you should by default, then Windows will dynamically adjust its size for you. Initially, Windows will configure a page file size based on the amount of memory installed and free disk space available.
If you don't run memory intensive applications such as virtual machines and production software other than games, you can shrink the page file down to a fraction of your total available RAM. You can also choose to disable paging completely, thus maximizing your space savings. I would strongly recommend against this as it could make your system and programs crash when you unexpectedly run out of RAM. That question was about the Windows swap file, aka the page file, aka virtual memory. Over the years we've heard all the so-called best methods; no swap file, fixed swap file, system managed file, on the main partition, on its own partition, twice the system memory, three times the system memory, fragmented, defragmented A huge reason for all of this is the historical way Microsoft has tackled the subject and implemented virtual memory within Windows.
The fact so many people call it the wrong thing is testament in itself to how badly understood the subject is, particularly when you consider virtual memory has been implemented in Windows since version 3. So we decided it was about time we took a comprehensive look at all the different scenarios and see which, if any, is actually optimal.
Along the way we'll learn a lot and as we'll see come up with some pretty novel solutions that are immensely helpful beyond just the single goal of getting an optimised page file. So no matter if you think you know it all or if you've never even heard of a page file before, we think you're going to learn something new along the way.
From how best to set-up your page file, how to avoid the usual pitfalls, to some intriguing tricks that are just damn handy to know about. When someone mentions swap file or page file to you what are they talking about? You can see why the two phrases are used interchangeably. However, the confusion doesn't stop there.
