Virtual Memory, or known as the swap file, is a fake memory located on the hard disk. Basically, Virtual Memory RAM is useful if there is in the system is limited so dipakailah hard disk space as temporary storage. Therefore it is not surprising that the Virtual Memory size can be set to 2 time in system RAM.
But you know, the amount of Virtual Memory may affect the speed of shutdown or reboot Windows. Morew bigger the Virtual Memory, more longer the Windows to reboot or shutdown.
Here's a solution to overcome them:
1. Click the menu "Start", then type "Local Security Policy".
2. Or try type "secpol.msc" in the Start menu. See the left column, then select "Security Settings> Local Policies> Security Options> Shutdown: Clear virtual memory pagefile". Set its value to "Disabled".
You have a great system RAM? You can also set up so that Windows is running without the Virtual Memory in this way.
1. Right click "Computer> Properties". Select "Advanced system settings".
2. Click "Settings" in the Performance section. In the window "Performance Options", click the tab "Advanced".
3. In the "Virtual memory", click "Change". There you can see on the drive where XP set Virtual Memory.
4. To disable the use of Virtual Memory, select the drive where XP put the Virtual Memory (pagefile.sys), then click on "No Paging File", followed by clicking "Set". After that, reboot your computer.
Virtual Memory is exactly like the fruit simalakama. For example, if you want to speed up the shutdown or reboot with disable feature "Shutdown: Clear virtual memory pagefile" on "Local Security Policy", so your system is less secure because crackers could have "a look" inside. Conversely, if you are not using Virtual Memory, might your system becomes less stable.
As a middle way, for you who have a large system RAM, it is better to use a bit Virtual Memory. For example, if you have 1GB of RAM, you can use the Virtual Memory of 256MB or 128MB while still set "Shutdown: Clear virtual memory pagefile" to "Enabled". The amount of Virtual Memory can be tailored to the needs and hard disk space.
