Optimizing your Windows PC

Preventing Windows from resizing the swap file

Virtual Memory Settings

Windows uses a swap file on your hard disk (also know as Virtual Memory) to simulate physical Ram, when your computer begins to run low on memory.

The way it manages this memory however isin't always efficient. Whenever you need more virtual memory, windows resizes the swap file to fill this demand, and then reduces the size of it when that memory is no longer needed. This can however be a performance problem, especially if you have a system that's low on Ram and relies heavily on virtual memory.

You can prevent Windows from resizing the swap file by following these steps:

1. Open the Control Panel (Start>Settings>Control Panel)
2. Double click on the System control panel
3. Select the performance tab
4. Click on the Virtual Memory button
5. Select 'Let me specify my own options'
6. Then set the minimum and maximum values to the same thing (a good amout would probably be about 250 Megs)

Apply the settings and observe as windows runs a little more smoothly.
