ive been watching videos on how to set your virtual ram to a custom to speed up your computer. So i thought i would try, but im not sure how much to set it at.
Space available: 232884 MB
so i jet set the initial size and the max size to: 200000 MB

does that sound good? or will it like screw up my PC?

any help please??

EDIT: im running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 With 3 1 Gig ram sticks in it. (and a 9500GT Nvidia GFX if you need to know that too.)

200GB page file? lol

I think your confused about what ram is,

ram = random access memory.

You probably have that and your harddrive space confused.

so what do i set it to.....

You want your memory to be in RAM when possible, not in your page file. The page file is a lot slower since it is on your hard disk... Microsoft suggests your virtual memory should be 1.5 times your actual RAM.

4608MB would be a good number for your 3GB's of RAM. It's 1.5 times your RAM size.

Tip: Leave it as it was if you're not having problems.

It's fine. I'd personally have initial at 3072.
