Re: Virtual Memory is too low



The only further explanation necessary is that the "information" that you present is completely inaccurate! One minute you tell users to set their pagefile at 1.5 to 2x RAM then you tell us that Windows cannot use a pagefile that is larger than the amount installed RAM, which begs the question, "If Windows cannot use a pagefile larger than the installed RAM why on earth are you telling users to set their pagefile to 2x RAM?"

Windows can use Multiple pagefiles on multiple spindles and it can use a single or combined amounts of paging files that is many times the amount of installed RAM. Whether or not users need that much paging capacity is another matter altogether, the point here is that the information you provide in these posts is *completely* inaccurate and readers looking for reliable information should disregard the uninformed notions that you posted!

the problem here is that mandating
to disregard information is notwithstanding
if you cannot provide something better or
provide the courtesy of your own explanations.

however, i did take the time to reaffirm my
position and make it a bit more clearer against
your sub thread. ideally, i will refrain from
responding to anyone else other than the o.p.

if anyone else has a question, then they are
free (literally free) to create a thread of their own
and receive answers from everyone including yours
that will help with their issue.
