I have 2gb ram and my C hard has 5gb free
my other hd has some 60gb free. (F unit)

What is the best way to set virtual memory in this case?
I have it in determined by system on C (file page)

wouldn't be better to

a) use not page file at all
Absolutely not
b) use determined by system on F unit hd
Yes
c) use 512 for min and 512 for max on F
How do you know that these sizes are correct?
d) other?
Best solution:
Small pagefile on C because Windows needs one almost immediately during
startup
System configured size on F because you probably won't need to worry about
this problem again.
I say probably because there might be some situations where system selected
size is less than ideal (I haven't seen one yet though)

Here's the amount of memory used usually:

Totals
Identifiers 10183
Subprocesses 464
Proceses 42

Physical (kb)
Total 2096672
Available 1563616
System Cache 513536

Transactions load
Total 434256
Limit 4039992
Max 434256


Memoria del nucleo ?
Total 66196
Paginated 47352
Non paginated 18844




BTW is it possible to limit the amount of RAM a process uses?
I have an antispam that takes some 52 gb ram because it takes a percentage
of ram available. In other pcs with less ram uses less than that and I
think
52 for that program is a waste...
There may be, but you will need to do your own searching.
As for whether that amount is a waste or not depends on what the program is
doing.
Perhaps you should first consider the question of how a program can use 52
gb of ram when the
design of the cpu limits the amount of physical memory to 4 gb.
Furthermore, Windows limits your
virtual memory (per process) to at most 3 GB.

PS: Sorry for the gif, I never do but it is necessary this time in
particular
