Hello hkop, welcome to Seven Forums!




As it looks as though you're using a 32-bit Windows 7, it can't access more than about 3.6GB of RAM (or so) to start with so it's best left at "System Managed".

Virtual memory

A good setting for virtual memory is the commit/charge that is listed under the performance tab in the task manager. You want to use the minimum and the maximum size to set your virtual memory. Using letting window manage the size will actually decrease the performance. The maximum size is best determined when running all the programs you would usually use.. then look at the maximum commit/charge .. .this would be the best setting. You can always try running no virtual memory for better performance, but remember windows will not be able to make a crash dump file (not necessarily needed except for troubleshooting things like blue screen error messages) since virtual memory is needed to create the dump file ...
