virtual memory help

[biferi]

I have win xp pro 32 Bit and that meens it can only see 3 GB RAM.

And if I ad more it just wont see it I get this so if I incress my virtual memory will it use it???

I meen if I am at my limit with System Memory and it looks at virtual memory as Extra System memory then I would think it wont use it if it is at it's limit??

If you are really desperate, I suppose you could buy a ver small hard drive, and force your page file onto tht, just make sure the hard drive is internal, not external, only used for page file, and has a decent read/write speed

No I ment can you only incress your page file if you aready don't have the MAX Main memory installed

You realize that by definition, 32 bit OS only supports 3GB of RAM?

You need 64 bit for more to be detected.

This is what I ment say I put 3 GB of ram in and then there comes a time wen I am out of memory.

Am I right that I can't incress my Page file because it wont be seen anymore???

if this is an issue, I would consider getting more RAM and a 64-bit S, but yes you can increase the size of the page file.

How on Earth do you have it maxxed? It normally increases itself.
