 Youre searching is partly correct (virtual memory) which consists of
 both ram memory and the page file.However system files have nothing to
 do with it.R.click my computer,properties,advanced,virtual memory,click
 the change button,what opens are the page file settings.Min should be 1 1/2 X
 ram, Max. is 3 X ram,however the best policy is to let windows adjust unless its
 set wrong.Whenever you decide on or type in a setting,click set 2 X for it to be
 applied.Increasing ram,increases page file,installing a second or 3rd hd increases
 the page file.To move the page file,get kb307886
