This is increasing virtual RAM
Go Control Panel -> system -> advanced
Under performance, go to settings, advanced
under virtual memory, change the paging file to be higher -
Lower your AGP Aperture Size through your BIOS if you're not running graphic-intensive applications most of the time. More info here.

Reduce unnecessary startups could increase the amount of RAM used.

Windows XP - MSConfigOriginally posted by HygieneSetsco:how can i do this =/
Windows 2000 and NT - there's no such thing as MSConfig, but you can copy MSConfig from a XP PC or Windows 9x/ME PC over.
Windows 9x/ME - MSConfig
For Windows 2000 and above, there are also services, so you need to disable them via the Services Control Panel (services.msc).
Windows is often not very user-friendly, so I suggest you use a 3rd-party tool instead.
CCleaner, Starter and Startup Control Panel are all useful tools. Personally, I like CCleaner and Startup Control Panel. -

bigger it is,slower it is.Originally posted by tut4nkh4m3n:is this really effective? then why not just change it to the max possible? any negative effects? -
Microsoft recommends it to be 1.5x of the amount of physical RAM, which is the default. Although I don't think there is a limit for this, using too much of your hard disk for your paging file as compared to using RAM would only slow your system down as the data transfer rate is MUCH higher for RAM than for hard disks.
Anyway, to reduce defragmentation, you can set both the minimum and maximum size of the virtual paging file to be the same. -
Vista got a particular technology called ReadyBoost,which use memory like USB stick and mem stick to act as virtual ram,but i think is also slow

any tips, on what to do, and what not to do? -
Any number smaller than the space left on your hard disk drive. And the number should not be equals to that, otherwise, I don't know what will happen.Originally posted by yiha093:how much should i change it to to pervent tihngs goin haywire

You can take a screenshot of the programs that are starting up. Antivirus and firewall and some common utilities are not disabled during Startup.Originally posted by HygieneSetsco:hmm, i think i'm going to use CCleaner.
