worked great for me. virtual memory increased from 32% of total to 60%. but you have to use min and max RAM numbers that apply to your machine's specs. I used 6GB min and have a max of 16GB. I had to refer to the maintenance manual to find the max. If you don't get the autorestart box, the numbers you are using probably wont improve anything (at one point I used a min and max higher than 6 and 16, manually restarted then used 6 and 16 again to get autorestart box.
OK got it what to do He's doing little wrong while calculating the MB he needs Windows doesn't use that much virtual memory And virtual memory isn't actually ram and it's *ALOT* slower than actual physical ram What you actually need to do is you need to multiply your total physical ram by 1024 Like I have 4GB Ram and I need to multiply it like 1024×4 And then you have to multiply the amount you previously got by 1.5 IN SHORT: Total available ram×1024×1.5 And after the number you got by this, Enter the same value in the MB Section like he's doing To make it easier, I've shown what should your final value be according to your Physical RAM 1 GB - 1536 2 GB - 3072 3 GB - 4608 4 GB - 6144 5 GB - 7680 6 GB - 9216 7 GB - 10752 8 GB - 12288 Yah I took a lot of time to comment and explain this : ) Subscribing me would be appreciated (Not begging for subs tho XD)
For those who don't know, VRAM can be increased up to double of Original RAM, no more than that, otherwise It won't work. (2 x RAM) x 1024 = VRAM Make sure you put that value on both Initial and Maximum Size (MB).
It will stop it from crashing if you run out of physiacl RAM, but no, it absolutely WILL NOT speed games up any. Virtual memory is on your HDD which is MUCH slower than physical RAM. If it has to use Virtual memory, it would actually slow the game down. A much better approach is to be awre of running apps, and have a minimalist background running apps,Or just simply buy a better RAM
Everyone, even if you don't see visualy on your pc after doing these, it works. It may be slow within' the first minutes, but you won't regret, i promise.
Still working in August2020!! let me tell you my "story" why I clicked this video.. today I bought 1 ps4 controller for my laptop.. Before using my controller I had on FIFA19 60fps all day long but when I plugged in I had like 5-10fps... After I did all he said in this video my game was working more faster than ever... VIRTUAL MEMORY IS A PAIN IN THE ASS IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.. YOU HAVE TO INCREASE IT IN ORDER TO PLAY YOUR GAMES at +60fps.. RESPECT MY G!!
you guys have to know that once ram exceeds a certain amount it slows your pc more than make it faster so you really shudnt add more than 4 gb than your original ram because virtual ram is less effective since it doesnt have the same speed as the physical ram
Your video helps me so much, yesterday i can normally play some steam games, and this morning when i booted my PC some of the games has been crashing. Hours of finding the error I checked my RAM installed and it came down to 4G RAM where initially it is 8 which causes the crashing, Applying your video help me set it to 8. Thanks it helps me a lot of time to fix my issue. June 18 2020. I dont know why it became 4G in the first place. Maybe windows 10 adjust it automatically without me knowing.
thanks to you..i have 4gb ram intalled memory din 3.45 usable.......and my virtual memory is 1.3gb......i follow your video i put initial size 12288 and 16384 for maximum size..it work super duper thanks...and now my virtual memory is 12gb ..and run dxdiag my available pagefile is 13655
I was about to collapse but this video saved me:D . Solved my pandoc paging error in R programing . Thanks bro. Dear R user if you are here go through the instructions.
1,5x times the ram you have or elsewise it can crash ur whole system ALSO its gonna use HDD/SDD space which affects performance while gaming a lot. Only do it if you have ram issues.
This trick allowed me to add 7gb of ram to my acer aspire switch which i didn't even think was possibly. You're awesome man thank you for furthering my knowledge!
This uses your storage for RAM, but it is much slower. Whenever you're out of ram, your pc starts using storage space for it. If you're looking for a solution to a "Hardware Reserved RAM" problem, this is not it.
OMG it didn't work at first and I didn't get the message to restart but I restarted and now I have so much virtual memory! Still works in 2020! Thanks! Btw I set the minimum and maximum both to 100 GB since I have a terabyte of storage lol. Why not?
@@Tuoons It won't show in the control panel, since it only shows PHYSICAL memory, or installed RAM. You have to go to settings, system, storage and go to whatever drive you set the virtual memory to be allocated from and click the system and performance option after it finished loading.

Thank you very much. I have a 12 year old laptop which has only had the hard drive replaced in all that time. Well, given time and technology advancement it's been running slowly for some while. I tried a number of options to boost the speed as the RAM is only 3GB, but nothing really worked. Until I came across this video. Wow! My laptop is on steroids. It's really flying. If I'd only found this before I bought a replacement I could have saved me some bucks. Still, experience is a good thing.
RAM does not make your computer run faster, it just assures u have a space of immediate access so the system doesnt have to search in HDD for apps that are currently running. It only allows you to run at the same time different apps without experiencing any kind of slowness. With 3 GB RAM i think u have enough if you are a casual computer user.
it was very simple and easy to follow. i did all the steps and restarted but when I checked my virtual memory was still the same. not sure why but if someone could tell me that would be nice
i suggest not to mess with this vram stuff if u have no idea what ur doing. i tried this months back and was not happy at all after i got the BSOD ( Blue Screen Of Death)
It really works!!! Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I was getting bored in this lockdown...my pc is now working much smoother than before...again..thanks for this video
Yo this crap made my laptop much slower. I can't even open apps anymore. You can't just be liking comments and not help the people out. Tell me how to undo this
@@NoOneAlive_ I know, but why make this video then? This video makes us believe that it was some how possible. And not everyone knows about computers like that. They're going to fall for it and it's not their fault. I bought a ram that cost me 52$. It was well worth the price, but this method serioisly ruined my laptop. I had to software reset my computet. Meaning I had to completely clean out my laptop in order to get it to work properly again
You know man in all windows version this is worked I have try it, but I see this because I have upgrade my laptop to windows 10 and sometimes its laggy
Yes this does work, if you're wondering why your virtual memory didn't change when you checked it, i hsve no idea. But you can try and check your virtual memory on "System Information" and you can see that it changed.
Thanks now i got really good performance in gaming i have 4gb ram and 12GB virtual memory and before i had like 30-35 fps in games now i get constant 60 in most games in high end games i get around 50-55 fps thanks alot.
May 2021 I follow the steps two times...At first, it shows up the restart and when I come back, it did not extend but it works on my second try and it is now extended (even the restart doesn't show up) It's my experience so I'm not sure if this gonna work to other. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I just have a question: I have done all the steps, and it says 24gb ram when I go to system and reserved, but if I go to the system properties it still says 8gb. Why doesn’t it show in the system properties?
Virtual memory, also known as the swap file, uses part of your hard drive to effectively expand your RAM, allowing you to run more programs than it could otherwise handle. But a hard drive is much slower than RAM, so it can really hurt performance. ... RAM is faster than storage, and you have much less of it.
I have a Dell Inspiron 14-3442, which supports maximum 8gb of physical RAM and my actual physical installed RAM is 4gb. I understood that 8gb is the top, so I put at the minimum value 4096mb and at maximum 8192mb. Finally, when I checked the virtual memory, Windows showed to me 4.01gb. Did I set the more suitable values or even it can be improved? Thanks a lot
When set and pressed ok, It doesn't show me anything about resetting. And the apply button is unclickable (gray) *Help!* 😓 EDIT: it worked. You have to find out your *Initial RAM* first. For example: If I have 4GB of ram, I do 4×1024×1.5 If I have 3, I do 3×1024×1.5 And so on. *Both values must be the same for it to work!* (Upper box and lower box)
You can search it on Google how to set your maximum and minimum. And you can also know more about virtual ram. It's f* awesome. Example: Searh for - virtual ram for 4gb - it will show you the suitable ram that you will use for max and min.
none of these will help u a lot, it helps a little. if u have 4gb ram and u do this, it won't go up to 20gb or something lol, dude u have to buy a ram if u want to increase it
finally somene who understands how ram works its actaually a paging file for unused app when you dont have enough ram and is actully better if you upgrade your ram physically to make the pc not even use it.
@@kmrnxo easy first before buying ram check the ram already installed in your pc using cpuz since you need to find if its ddr3 or 4 if a newer machine and then its speed and preferably also same size once you have found those then you can go to a pc sto store and give him the details and you ready to go.

Please Can You Explain Me What Maths Are You Doing?

ok can someone tell us how
OK got it what to do
He's doing little wrong while calculating the MB he needs
Windows doesn't use that much virtual memory
And virtual memory isn't actually ram and it's *ALOT* slower than actual physical ram
What you actually need to do is you need to multiply your total physical ram by 1024
Like I have 4GB Ram and I need to multiply it like 1024×4
And then you have to multiply the amount you previously got by 1.5
IN SHORT: Total available ram×1024×1.5
And after the number you got by this,
Enter the same value in the MB Section like he's doing
To make it easier, I've shown what should your final value be according to your Physical RAM
1 GB - 1536
2 GB - 3072
3 GB - 4608
4 GB - 6144
5 GB - 7680
6 GB - 9216

THX BRO
Wait this works?
@@nashlaughs2408 no
Hey it worked 😃... Ur amazing guy.
OMG THANK YOUUUU!! This really helped!
I liked and subbed. :D
I want to allocate more system RAM to a particular. How can i do that.
Works, October 2020. pogu moment but im confused if this actually helps tho
I just want meaningless numbers leave me alone
When set and pressed ok, It doesn't show me anything about resetting. And the apply button is unclickable (gray) *Help!* 😓
EDIT:
it worked.
You have to find out your *Initial RAM* first. For example:
If I have 4GB of ram, I do 4×1024×1.5
If I have 3, I do 3×1024×1.5
And so on.
*Both values must be the same for it to work!* (Upper box and lower box)
But if its work what the initial ram do ?
wait i have 4gb ram what am i suppose to do?
You can search it on Google how to set your maximum and minimum. And you can also know more about virtual ram. It's f* awesome.
Example: Searh for - virtual ram for 4gb - it will show you the suitable ram that you will use for max and min.
none of these will help u a lot, it helps a little. if u have 4gb ram and u do this, it won't go up to 20gb or something lol, dude u have to buy a ram if u want to increase it
finally somene who understands how ram works its actaually a paging file for unused app when you dont have enough ram and is actully better if you upgrade your ram physically to make the pc not even use it.
It doesn't matter to what number it can go "up", you're adding SLOOOOOW MEMORY.
How do u buy a ram im pretty new to all this
@@kmrnxo easy first before buying ram check the ram already installed in your pc using cpuz since you need to find if its ddr3 or 4 if a newer machine and then its speed and preferably also same size once you have found those then you can go to a pc sto store and give him the details and you ready to go.
@@kmrnxo go to the store, u don't need to bring ur laptop. just see ur laptop info, what ddr planted on ur laptop
how do you have 1k gb? your pc is a legend
1T* i mean.. almost everyone has that
@@irnes_eth thats like 4tb , i have 1 only
@@quaintfalopa9724 i have 1 aswell, but isnt the 1000gb 1 T?
@@irnes_eth no 1 tb means more than 200 gb and less than 300 gb search it up
@@irnes_eth oh wait your right
Thank you so much man this really helped much love
How much ram did u have before and how much do u have now??
@@brandohernandez794 it doesnt work, when I wrote my comment I didnt know about comouters
@@AlejandroGarcia-tj2bs did u atleast try to do it?and why doesn’t it work
@@brandohernandez794 i did try it. It just didnt affect my performance.
Wow, this worked! I needed this for a new job, thank you so much
Glad it helped!
Didn't change anything but video's awesome at least I learned something new.
*thanks.. worked but i used 6Gb min and 8Gb max, we ll see. you think itd be fasted to get that virtual ram from a mini sd card?*
Yes because it's flash memory wich is faster than HDD
Thank you so much for your help to increase my RAM.

Mine went from 3.12 Gb to 32.1Gb thanks bro
Wow
Idk but gta iv became playable after this. Liked and subbed!!!
I also came to run GTA 4 🤣
Well, it did not work at first so I thought why not lower down to an initial of 12Gb to 16Gb and worked just fine. So, overall the method still works
Well said bro 👍👍👍👍
POV Everybody here cause of gta
Hey I like your video sir, it works for me, from Philippines anyway it will works this method if your windows are windows 7 sir?
Yes
i have one question and please someone answer it. i have 4gb ram and fortnite fps is 30 and lagging if i set it to 12 gb will it work on it i hope yes!!
what you do is buy a new pc :)
but this is virtual ram not installed memory ram
Gaming TV virtual memory eats STORAGE but that's still REAL ram not fake virtual same in installed memory
installed memory or virtual memory same but the only problem with virtual cost storage in LAPTOP but that's no problem if your laptop have 320g if increase ram by 5G ram so 315G free of storage
@@MervynSacala actually virtual memory is slightly slower than ram and is not REAL RAM it is VIRTUAL RAM VIRTUAL IS NOT THE SAME AS REAL as well as the VIRTUAL RAM is actually it using your drive as memory not real eam
How to know how much ram does my laptop supports?
most laptops only support 16gb yours may only support 16gb too
A simple math if you need 64mb vram multiply it with 1024 if you need anything multiply with 1024
I dont comment very often on youtube videos, however thanks dude this really works! You got a new sub! 👍
Yo does this actually work
