My question is...Samsung recommends to put the initial virtual memory at 200MB and max at 2048MB. So won't that be bad for gaming in second life since it constantly writes to the hard drive? Though I'm not sure how much drive space is exactly used in the virtual memory, I know some drive space is allocated, I don't even know if that is actually being used or not. Does anyone know that? I know windows writes data to the virtual drive even if you will never run out of memory, I have 16Gb of ram. I only use a max of 5 gb or ram on average, sometimes it peaks at 6 or 7 gb of ram. I also use a virtual ramdisk 3 GB large so the game's cache is written to it to increase the speed.
I also read somewhere that it's best to put the initial size of your virtual memory to your peak commit size and I have no idea why, that is an awful lot of wasted drive space to put on a hard drive that is not being used, my peak would max at 7 at it's highest, I know that the more data you put on the drive, the slower it is, especially in games where you need faster reaction speed with shooting.
My friend has 32GB or ram and I noticed by default, Windows 8 used an initial size of 3 GB! I am not sure why but I'd certainly like to know the changes made with controlling the virtual memory.
I don't want to waste space if it's not nessessary, I saw benchmark test results for some ssd drives that showed it's best to have 25% or less data on it for maximum performance. Anymore and your file transfers would be slower.
You would think by the year 2013 we'd have smaller operating systems since gamers rely so heavily on reaction speed.
I miss the days when Windows 98 SE only took up 2 GB of hard drive space, My reaction speed in shooter games was incredibly faster than it is now. If anyone finds out how to reduce the C drive to 10GB or less in Windows 7, let me know!
Thanks for your help.
