Does your computer run deadly slow? Do you still strive to increase the computer performance and speed? Are you still finding a solution for this problem for free? Yes, now you need not to purchase new RAM or computer to speed up your computer. All you need is a little knowledge about virtual memory and its usage.

Virtual memory refers to a situation in which your computer uses hard disk space as a RAM. The operating system is capable enough to manage or page the required files from and into this memory space. Programs that are running are unaware of this and consider it as an added RAM space.

Use of virtual memory is more beneficial if you have complete knowledge about the amount of virtual memory that can be allocated from each hard disk drive. If more than required space is allocated, then your operating system will have to struggle a lot in paging from and to the virtual memory space thus resulting in less performance. One of the simplest rules is to set virtual memory at least one and a half time of your actual RAM to speed up your computer.

To set virtual memory on your computer just follow these simple steps:
• Right click on “My Computer”
• Open “Advanced System Properties”
• Go to “Advanced” tab and click on “Settings” under Performance
• Set the desired virtual memory and save the changes

If you are still unsatisfied with the performance of your system, then you need to consider updating registry entries. The registry entries of an operating system get cluttered with useless entries as we install and uninstall different software. This results in slower performance. The best way to deal with such situation is to use registry software that can safely delete the useless registry keys and entries to speed up your computer.
