Ram performance
Hi,
I am using laptop with core 2 duo 2ghz intel processor with 2gb ram. I have a couple of question about RAM performance. Though having 2GB RAM why paging of file is used in task manager? if no application is running then system should not use paging, right? When I use virtual machines system becomes very slow and processor starts working very fast, does it mean the system requires more RAM for virtual machines? Pls advice Thanks in advance Regards, Aniruddha Submitted via EggHeadCafe - Software Developer Portal of Choice JavaScript - IFRAME Forms IE/NS http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorials...ame-forms.aspx |

Read up on the Page File (Virtual Memory) in Windows XP he http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.php Scroll down to "Can the Virtual Memory be turned off on a really large machine?" *at least*. And when you run a virtual machine - well - use logic. You told that virtual machine to utilize a given amount of memory (256MB, 512MB, 1GB, etc...) - so it does so. It actually uses memory - real memory - so if you were already using 1GB for running the things you have open and you start up a virtual machine that you set to use 1GB of memory - if it boots - you have used 2GB of memory and you said that is all you have. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |
