Se seu computador começar a retardar para baixo após diversos meses do uso, lá um par de mudanças que menores você pode fazer a seus ajustes que ajudarão aumentar o desempenho de seu computador. Tweaking Windows é essencial começar o desempenho máximo para seu computador. Mesmo em um computador rápido, se os ajustes estiverem incorretos, o computador executará mal.
Ajustes da memória virtual:
A memória virtual para seu computador é espaço da movimentação dura usado por Windows quando enche acima a RAM física. Vamos dizer que você tem um computador que tenha 256MB da RAM e você está funcionando diversas aplicações uma vez naquela pôde necessitar um total de 400MB da memória. Windows encherá acima o 256MB e usará então o espaço livre na movimentação dura armazenar o descanso. Isto é chamado a lima paginando ou a memória virtual e Windows aumentarão e diminuirão o tamanho desta lima como necessitado. Escrever ao disco faz exame muito mais por muito tempo do que a escrita à RAM física, assim que quando Windows usa a lima paginando, o desempenho de computador degrada.
Isso é porque você ouvirá sempre povos perguntar se houver bastante RAM porque mais a RAM que você tem, melhor seu desempenho de computador será. Entretanto, nós podemos tweak os ajustes da memória virtual também de modo que a lima paginando não comece fragmentada e de modo que Windows não tenha que crescer ou encolher o tamanho da lima paginando, ambo fará com que o computador retarde para baixo, especialmente em umas máquinas mais velhas.
Pelo defeito, Windows usa a divisória do carregador (a divisória que contem suas limas de sistema se operando) e recomenda-se ajustar o tamanho a 1.5 vezes a quantidade de RAM que você tem.
Para mudar os ajustes da memória virtual, vá começar, painel de controle e estalar sobre Sistema. 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.
nice article
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.

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.
i found a much easier way to tweak your computer, it helped mine a lot,

Nice post, thanks for the info
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.
