How To Increase your Virtual Ram, Need extra ram?

I have done this with my 3 gig ram and i guarantee you even if you have 1 gig ram it will still own
Now first lets check how much ram you have
To check do this
1. Click start
2. settings, control pane
l3. system
You will see
Under computer:
Your processor name speed and ram
Now in order to this correctly, you need to make your virtual ram double your physical ram
so if you have 1 gig ram you need to set virtual ram to 2 gig
How do you set virtual ram settings?
Easy
In that same window (system window) click advanced
Then under performance click settings
when you click settings click the advanced sub tab on top
at the very bottom you will see virtual memory
click change
click your main harddrive, on mine its C:
so highlight tha
tthen click custom size
now you need to input the ram in mb
to convert gig to mb use this
