How much virtual memory is optimal
Hi,
I have the 64-bit version of Windows 7 installed with 4GB of RAM. I run virtualisation applications like virtualbox as well as IDEs like Netbeans (a bit heavy on memory) and Visual Studio 2010. I frequently find the memory consumption shooting above 3500 MB. Is it normal?
Also my virtual memory (min & max) is manually set to 8 GB. Since I have never seen the commit charge going beyond 4GB, I assume that the virtual memory remains unused. So, I wish to know how much virtual memory is actually required by my system and whether I should leave it to be managed by the system or set it manually.
