Now in the Performance Advanced Tab, select “Change” to change Virtual Memory. Uncheck “Automatically Manage Paging” option to edit the RAM allocation. Here select “Custom Size” and enter the RAM size. Since I’m having 8 Gigs where 4 GB is accessible, Im making it to 8 GB. Means multiplying 1024 with 8. So entering 8192 here as minimum and maximum RAM. Select “Set” then click OK. It will ask you to restart PC to take effect of new settings. Do it to increase the performance of the PC or a Laptop.
