What happens if I change my computer's virtual memory?
What's the worst that could happen if I changed it from it's automatic settings to 3067MB, which is the recommended amount listed.
Also, can I increase that even more for better performance?
Whats the highest safe amount I can increase it to?
Answers:
It MAY effect your performance.
The recommended amount is to dynamically allocate it (by OS).
The recommended manual setting is 4GB for 2GB of RAM. The highest safe amount is based on how much hard drive space you have and a safe cushion to create additional files (depends on your applications).
The most you can increase it by is up to the size left on your drive. Not recommended.
The least you can have it is 0, but then you slow your computer down.
If you want to improve performance, best bet is to use real RAM.
