Wenn Ihr Computer angefangen hat, nach einigen Monaten des Verbrauches zu verlangsamen, dort ein Paar der geringfügigen änderungen, die Sie zu Ihren Einstellungen vornehmen können, die helfen, die Leistung Ihres Computers zu erhöhen. Windows zu zwicken ist wesentlich, die Höchstleistung für Ihren Computer zu erhalten. Sogar an einem schnellen Computer, wenn die Einstellungen falsch sind, führt der Computer schlecht durch.

Speicher-Einstellungen:

Virtueller Speicher für Ihren Computer ist der Festplattenlaufwerkraum, der von Windows benutzt wird, wenn er oben das körperliche RAM füllt. Lassen Sie uns sagen, daß Sie einen Computer haben, der 256MB von RAM hat und Sie lassen einige Anwendungen sofort laufen, die eine Gesamtmenge 400MB des Gedächtnisses benötigen konnten. Windows füllt oben das 256MB und benutzt dann den freien Raum auf dem Festplattenlaufwerk, um den Rest zu speichern. Dieses wird die Blattdatei genannt, oder virtueller Speicher und Windows erhöhen und verringern die Größe dieser Akte, wie gebraucht. Das Schreiben zur Scheibe nimmt viel länger als Schreiben zum körperlichen RAM, also, wenn Windows die Blattdatei benutzt, vermindert Computerleistung.

Das ist, warum Sie immer Leute hören, zu fragen, ob es genügend RAM gibt, weil mehr das RAM, das Sie haben, Ihre Computerleistung das besser ist. Jedoch können wir die Speichereinstellungen, damit die Blattdatei und nicht damit zersplittert erhält, Windows wachsen oder nicht die Größe der Blattdatei schrumpfen muß, die den Computer zu verlangsamen veranlaßt, besonders auf älteren Maschinen auch zwicken.

Durch Rückstellung benutzt Windows das Aufladung Fach (das Fach, das Ihre Betriebssystemakten enthält) und es wird empfohlen, um die Größe auf 1.5mal einzustellen die Menge von RAM, die Sie haben.

Um die Speichereinstellungen zu ändern, gehen Sie zu beginnen, Steuerverkleidung und an zu klicken System. Click on the Advanced tab and under the Performance box, click Settings.

On the Performance dialog, click the Advanced tab and then click Change under the Virtual Memory heading.

Now you’ll see the Virtual Memory settings as shown below:

Here are the rules for setting your paging file correctly:

To get the best performance it is best to create a paging file on a different partition than the boot partition (the drive that contains that operating system, which is usually the C drive) and to also create it on a separate hard drive. In this way, Windows can handle more I/O requests because the paging file will not have to compete with the system folder that needs to be constantly accessed as Windows runs.

The only problem with completely moving the paging file off the boot partition is that Windows uses the page file to write out debug info in case your computer crashes with blue screen of death STOP error. This is important for machines that have critical data, but for the average user, this is not a big deal. If you get the blue screen of death, it’s not an easy process at all to get to read the file and even if you can, it can be quite complex. But if you have enough space, then you can leave the paging file there.

So the best solution is to create on paging file on the boot partition that will take care in case of a crash and create another paging file on a separate partition on a DIFFERENT hard drive preferably. If you only have one hard drive on your computer, then just create another paging file on a different partition. Windows automatically uses the paging file that is on the less accessed partition using an internal algorithm.

Even more ideal would be if you could put the paging file in it’s own partition with no other data. This ensures that the paging file will never become fragmented and hence performance will be better. If it’s on a drive that has other data and the paging file must be expanded, and if there is other data in the way, the file will become fragmented.

Another way to reduce fragmentation of the paging file is to set the initial and maximum sizes to the same number. What this does is ensure that the file does not grow or shrink and therefore will not fragment. However, you should defragment the hard drive before doing this to ensure the paging file is all together on the hard drive.

So if you have only one partition, set the initial and maximum sizes to 1.5 times the amount of RAM you have. If you have more than one partition, select the boot partition and set the initial and max to 250MB. The reason for this is because it’s better to create another paging file on the other partition and create one paging file on the boot partition that’s just big enough for the mini dump file, which is 250MB.

On your second partition, select Custom Size and set the initial and maximum values to 1.5 times the amount of physical RAM you have. You can determine the amount of RAM you have by going to Start, Control Panel, and click System. You’ll see the amount of RAM at the bottom right.

    Hi, I’ve tried doing all that you mentioned to increase my speed and increase my paging file. (I keep getting notices that I have no paging file) When I go through the steps, I’m showing that I’m adding a paging file (of 1536 mb), but after I re-start, it shows 0 mg. I’ve disabled everything on start-up as well, but it still takes a lot of time to boot. Can you help me. I no longer have a tech dept to support me, since I’ve retired. Thank you & God Bless, Walker

    How do I set up a paging file on the boot system? How do I set up a paging file on my D hard drive? w.

    Dear,
    It’s a useful article that you have published. Thanks for that.

    My situation is different. I have 4GB of RAM and I do not want to use PAGE FILE. I assume 4GB is enough for my WinXP to consume. What is your opinion : Should I stop using page file or I keep a 6GB of page file?

    A reply will be apprecaited.

    Regards,

    It is not neccessary to have a paging file as long as your system has enoughh pysical ram available. e.g.: if you have 2 gig of pysical ram installed and your system uses a max of say 1.2 gig of ram you can quite safely turn paging file off. The 1.5 x the amount of system RAM rule is very outdated -it was introduced with windows 3.1 when the average amount of RAM installed was around 128MB.

    You do NOT need a paging file if you have plenty of physical RAM installed.

    Hi,
    I turned off using page file. Still, in Windows Task Manager’s Perofromance Tab, I see PF Usage 1.xGB.

    As far as I know this ‘PF Usage’ shows amount of page file used. If I already turned off page file, how come it is showing 1.x GB of page file use?

    Any idea? Thanks.

    That’s an M$ error. PF usage is actually refering to the amount of RAM your system is using. A mistake M$ never bothered to fix.

    Hi there I am an intern at an IT company in South africa and I have to better the perfomance of a PC i have been assigned to work on and the maths behind having to set the initial size of the paging file to 1.5 times the size of RAM is a bit difficult for me to understand. Plaese advise me!

    For instance the PC I am working on has 1.11 GB of RAM.
