This article is to share with you about the common misunderstandings of setting up virtual memory in win7 system. The editor thinks it is very practical, so share it with you as a reference and follow the editor to have a look.

Myth 1: virtual memory should not be located in system disk C (system disk) but in other non-system partitions.

Answer: no! Because disk C is the default system disk, the system files and page files are read and written most frequently on the hard disk. What is the most time-consuming operation when reading and writing to a hard disk? It's head positioning! The head positioning in the same partition undoubtedly saves time than long-distance positioning across the partition. Therefore, the virtual memory on the system disk (the system default) is the fastest and most efficient.

Myth 2: the optimal value of virtual memory is 1.5-3 times the amount of memory.

Answer: no! It should be judged according to the actual use. Especially today with the popularity of large memory. Memory usage is shown in the memory column of the task manager. General 1GB memory, according to the actual memory usage, you can set the virtual memory to 128-1024MB (the sum of memory + virtual memory is generally 256-512MB higher than normal). People who normally occupy hundreds of MB can even disable virtual memory (software restrictions can set a small amount of virtual memory, such as 16-128MB).

Virtual memory can generally be disabled if the memory is 2G or more (a small amount of virtual memory can be set if there are software restrictions, such as 16-128MB). Some people who do use a lot of memory, such as playing large 3D games, making large pictures, 3D modeling, etc., and receive warnings of insufficient memory in the system, need to set virtual memory at their discretion.

Myth 3: the bigger the virtual memory, the better.

Answer: no! The virtual memory is too large, which not only wastes the disk space, but also increases the time of magnetic head positioning, and reduces the execution efficiency of the system, without any benefit. Correct setting can save space around 256MB-4G (depending on memory size)
