How to Increase Virtual Memory in Windows XP and Vista
Virtual memory is a “virtual” form of memory that your Windows computer uses in addition to its physical memory. Physical memory comes on chips that are installed in your computer.
You can buy additional memory chips and install them if your computer has additional slots for more memory. You can also replace memory chips with new ones if the original chips go bad or you want to install higher capacity chips (if your computer supports them). Because virtual memory is virtual, when it runs low, you can’t go down to the computer store and buy more. Instead, you need to increase the “paging file.”
This recommended Windows tune-up tool helps ensure your PC is running fast and error-free ALWAYS!

So what exactly is virtual memory? As you know, memory is also known as RAM which stands for “Random Access Memory.” RAM is typically stored on memory chips. However, Windows can also use part of the computer’s hard disk as random access memory. The memory accessed on the hard drive is the virtual memory. This memory is used to supplement the physical memory.
Windows doesn’t haphazardly place memory resident items and programs on the hard drive as needed; these items are placed in the paging file. The paging file’s size affects how much virtual memory is available. For example, if the paging file is relatively small, you won’t have much virtual memory available. If the paging file is large, then you’ll have more virtual memory available. This is also why nearly full hard disks cause major performance problems because there’s no room for Windows to use for virtual memory.
Some programs such as Microsoft Office need virtual memory, even on computers with plenty of physical RAM. Whether you want to improve system performance by increasing virtual memory or you need to increase the amount of virtual memory because a specific program requires it, the steps are the same: you must increase the paging file’s size.
In Windows XP, you can increase virtual memory by:
• Going to Start and right-clicking My Computer
• Clicking Properties
• Clicking the Advanced tab followed by Settings
• Clicking the Advanced tab in the next dialog box
• Finding the Virtual Memory pane and clicking on Change
• Changing both the Initial Size and Maximum Size values to a higher number
• Clicking Set and OK to confirm your decision. Continue clicking OK as needed to exit the various dialog boxes
In Windows Vista, you can increase virtual memory by:
• Going to Start and right-clicking Computer
• Clicking Properties
• Clicking on Advanced System Settings
• Clicking on the Advanced tab
• Finding Performance and clicking on Settings
• Clicking the Advanced tab
• Finding the Virtual Memory area and clicking on the Change button
• Clicking Custom Size and increasing the Initial and Maximum Size values
• Clicking Set and OK to confirm your choice and exit the dialog boxes
Increasing the paging file will set aside additional hard drive space for Windows to use as random access memory. If you currently have a small paging file, increasing its size should boost your computer’s performance.
